We purchased a Dayna file with a 360k 5.25 and a 720K 3.5. It has been used at least once on every work day for the last 3 months. We have not had a single problem with it. We found it easy to set up and use. The init for the drive is large so we can't run fullwrite on a Plus when it is installed (still waiting for my memory upgrade). The software does not support FullWrite or WordPerfect on the Mac or WP 5 on the IBM side. This I hope will come out in the next release of MacLink (They actually produce the software). The only problem we have had is that in certain translations you cannot have a Mac file that is bigger than the magic 32K limit. This is not consistant for all the translaters but does seem to occur going from Word on the Mac to WordPerfect on the PC. Hope this is helpful Richard Crispin Dept. of Psychology Bitnet: psych@watdcs University of Waterloo Unix : psych@watdcsu.UWaterloo.ca Waterloo, Ont. Canada N2L 3G1 (519)885-1211 ext 2879
