With the AST coprocessor, >you can network the D: drive to a Macintosh folder. Not neccesarily. You could get a LocalTalk board for the PC. TOPS or Appleshare would allow you to use files from either machine. For greater speed, Ethernet cards could be used instead. This configuration will give you 5.25" conversion for nothing. Since the Mac can be used as a file server all you need is a cheap clone, these can be had for as little as $500. For even greater speed you can get a 386. This still will not make for the easy cut and paste that the AST board has. -- Tony Stieber astieber@csd4.milw.wisc.ed att!uwmcsd1!uwmcsd4!astieber
