Where do you come up with these things? just kidding.
Actually there are a bunch of programs that can be used to transfer files
from PC to Apple disks, and back. Using a stnadard 3.5inch drive (You don`t
even need a PCTransPorter card, or a SuperDrive or any of that stuff) you
can read 720k PC formatted floppies. I don`t remember the names of the
programs (i have a pctransporter, so I don`t need them) but they were
shareware, there was a set that was freeware, and there were  afew
applications in ProDOS8 that did it also.
