No. The Mac Plus uses a different bit-encoding method (GCR) than MS-DOS floppies (MFM). Apple's FDHD drive (available as an upgrade for older Mac SE and Mac II computers, standard on all Macs currently sold except the Plus) reads and writes GCR and MFM, so it can use software such as Apple File Exchange or Dayna's DosMounter to read and write MS-DOS floppies. You can buy external add-on drives which work with the Mac Plus; Dayna and Kennect (among others) sell such drives. --Brian Bechtel blob@apple.com "My opinion, not Apple's"
