Re: Dyna File II Disk Drive Question

Hmm, do you have the drivers for this? I couldn't remember if you said you
had them, or if that was someone in email...however it is, I still am
without them, so if anyone was feeling magnanimous...I cannot use mine
without the drivers...:<

As in, it breaks under OS 8, or has simply not been tested?

Very true here, but I think it will also work with DOS Mounter Plus, DOS
Mounter II, DOS Mounter Pro, DOS Mounter 95, etc...but yes, no PC
Exchange...but then, even the Apple PC 5.25 drive for the mac wouldn't
work with PC Exchange (but it works with DOS Mounter :P)

Well, best of luck, though I think the drive mechanism itself may be a big
stumbling block in that.
