    True they did, but no one has mentioned any actual translation
utilities. I'm not sure what the capabilities of AccessPC are because I
don't use it, but DOS Mounter only allows a SuperDrive to mount a DOS
disk and look at its contents. It allows for direct copying, but doesn't
actually perform any translation. I would recommend MacLink PC from
DataViz. It comes with DOS Mounter, and translates just about everything
known to mankind from PC to Mac and back again.
