Well, the drives in those machines couldn't read the MS-DOS disks,
but they certainly could read the ProDOS disks.  I know, been there,
done that type of thing.

Of course in the early days, you only had Apple File Exchange to be
able to read ProDOS disks on a Mac Plus, SE or whatever else you were
using with 800K drives, and it was extremely slow in writing to ProDOS
disks but it could do it.  It was also nice to have the built-in 
translation at times with AFE.
