I have an extra (!) 20 megabyte Priam hard disk that I bought for my AT-clone
(Panasonic 286).  I don't need the disk capacity on my Panasonic, but I'd
*LOVE* to make my MacPlus happy.  Anybody know of a SCSI-to-IBM converter
or some such that would allow me to use this disk with my MacPlus?

A poor second choice would be the piece of software I've heard about that
allows transparent access to files on an MS-DOS system from the Mac (and
vice-versa?).  Anybody know the name of this, and its limitations?  I don't
think it's MacLink, which allows file transfer only (I think), but rather
something that makes the Mac think the IBM's files are on its own disk.

Thanks in advance!

-Marc
