Re: Hard Drive question (dos 3.3)

[citaria@hotmail.com (Kellion)]

Well the bad news is that they aren't taking any new orders on the
focus drives.  They don't have any and are not sure when they will be
making more.  It could be a while. = \

I guess I will try to find one on Ebay and in the mean time try to
find out how I can get a file from the PC to an Apple 5 1/4 inch disk.
 Would anyone that knows how to do that be willing to send me the
disks if I pay them?
