We just got a Mac IICX and I am having problems getting it to
read a floppy initialized on an IBM-PS2 50 floppy drive.  The 
floppy was initialized as single sided (ie 720K).  I thought 
that the IICX should be able to read MS-DOS floppies.  Am I 
doing something wrong?  Should I be running the File Exchange
Program first?  I don't see much documentation for this feature.

A second question concerns a program that can draw 3-d plots.
I've heard there is software called DScience (not too sure of
the name) that is coming out or is already out.  Has anyone heard
of this program?  How good is it compared to what is available on
Systat or Mathematica?  I'll be happy to summarize results.

Thanks in advance for your help
