Wow your message went through _16_ different stops before it arrived
here! I cant't believe it! It took a total of eight days for it to
arrive! Man, even Canada Post is more efficent than that! Yeesh.
 
Anyway as per your inquiry, I only have a 720K drive and a 360K drive in
my TransDrive. The documentation AE provides says that the PC Transporter
doesn't support high density drives. You can try to hook one up to see if
it works. I've heard that the floptical drives can read high density 3.5
MS-DOS disks, you might want to look into this. I wonder how long it will
take for you to receive this message.
