Hi there!

I need to read (and write) IBM formatted disks on my PowerBook 170.
These disks are formatted on a UNIX system (HP-UX in fact)
using the mtools.

I tried using AccessPC and some other CDEV (I think it was from Apple),
but both could not recognize the IBM format. Currently I am using 
old "Apple File Exchange" to access these disks, but that is no 
solution to stay with.

Does anybody know WHY Apple's oldie does things the new programs 
cannot do? I just cannot imagine why...
WHAT other programs could I try?

Please reply via mail.
