Demon have started to make the Dispatches CD dual-boot, which is a
nuisance.

It often contains files which I want to get across to my Toshiba, which is
CD-less. I copy them, using the Mac, to a DOS Zip cartridge, then to the
Toshiba.  

When it was straight DOS/Unix, this worked perfectly. Now, I find that the
Apple CD-ROM driver won't let me read the DOS partition of dual-boot
drives, even if I am using SoftWindows.

The SoftWin manual tells me that there is a driver called RapidCD, from
Insignia, that will allow me to read both. Are there any others? Shareware
or free, even? Could I install such a driver without messing up my "normal"
CD operation?

Info gratefully received...
