Subj:   Re: Disk conversion for Apple format


There is a board that plugs into a PC compatible and can read/write
Apple ][, //, //e, and Pro-DOS disk formats.  It also reads/writes
MS-DOS formats.  It allows you to format disks for the Apple while on
the PC and works with a multi-floppy or single floppy with hard drive
PC.  It can be configured to process the end of line string on one
format so the other can use the file, to process the end of file
marker, and to set up defaults for how/where the files are stored.
The configuration is saved in a file on disk, so you can load
different files for Pro-DOS and Apple-DOS.

The office across from mine uses one regularly on a Tandy 1200HD.
They say it works as advertised.  I helped the guy install it, and
it's relatively simple.  I think it takes a half-size slot, but it may
be a full-size one (?).  It connects into your floppy controller I
believe.  It doesn't interfere with any normal disk activity.  It only
goes active when you run the supplied software for it.  With the card,
you can transfer files both ways either singly or by the disk.  It
also can give a directory for Apple or PC disks.  The card gets a real
workout, and I don't think they've had any trouble with it.  I don't
know the manufacturer, but the product is "The Apple Turnover Card."
If you are interested, I can find the manufacturers name.  Just send
me mail if you want it.

Hope this helps,
