One of the things you'll find when and if you come across documentation for Apple File Exchange is that the MS-DOS translation requires one of the 5.25 inch drive options. The fact that it doesn't work with the 3.5" drives has something to do with different recording techniques between the Apple and DOS worlds (I was told this, don't know it firsthand). I hope this helps.
