Re: Superdrive controller + superdrive = read MSDOS? Doesn't work for me

["Tim Haynes" <timhaynes@alumni.NO.SPAM.PLEASE.uwaterloo.ca>]

Okay, got it working.  I got a DOS 5.0 bootdisk off the 'net, and GS/OS
recognized it right away.  I went to use MUG!, but actually found the user
interface a bit hard to use (although it's definitely the only and best game
in town for formatting and writing to MSDOS disks!) so I'll stick with DOS
5.0 disks as much as I can.  Then again, I can also just use my AppleTalk
network and PC MacLan to get at files on my windows machine.  But the floppy
access is very very handy!

Thanks for the help, everyone.

Cheers
Tim
