With all this noise about reading Apple ][ and IBM disks, I want to
know why AFE on the Mac II here will not WRITE or FORMAT an IBM 5.25
360K disk??!  I can read said disk with either the "default translation"
(thats binary copy) or with the text translator, but when I try to write 
to such a disk the error "file/folder not found" returns and the disk 
directory is trashed (thatslike carry it to our IBM XT and dir to find 
hex and trash for directory info).  Same error if I 
create a sub directory and try to copy a file into that sub 
directory from the mac.  If I try to format the 5.25 as MS-DOS 360k,
AFE recognizes the disk and what it should be but at the end of 
the format gives "format failed Please remove disk".  Whats going on here??
Gee guess this info would be handy: Mac II running system 6.0.0 
finder 6.1 MF 6.0 (I have tryed this both w/ and w/out
MF). We have 4meg "apple" ram, Apple 5.25 disk drive and Apple 
disk drive card.  Nothing unusualfor da's or inits 'cept Pyro 
and I can't see any problems there.  AFE is vers= 1.1
Whats the deal??

Thanks,
Everette
