What?  AFE won't read your disk?  Thats really strange.  The only thing I 
can think of that would make AFE unable to read the disk  would be a 
damaged disk, it which you are SOL whatever you do.  We are talking about 
3.5" disks aren't we?  If you are talking about sticking ProDOS 5.25 
disks in one of those 5.25" drives that Apple made for reading PC 5.25 
disks, then it won't work.  Make sure your files are on a 3.5" disk and 
you should be fine.
