Greetings Macland!

I just heard that there are two new controller cards available for the SE and
the Mac II which allow them to run DOS 3.2 applications.  Since I am a
newphyte to the Mac, I have some trepidation about asking questions in this
forum.  Oh well, here goes.  Is it currently possible to obtain DOS software
on 3 1/2 inch diskettes or is there a 5 1/4 inch floppy drive designed for
the Mac?  Once the format conversion takes place can I expect mathematical
applications to run as efficiently?  Will there be any other types of
software limitations after making the translations with the Mac86 card on
the SE?  Any clarification would be a great help.  

Thanks in advance,

Steve Kaiser
