supply. That was good enough to try it out on an Apple II.

I am indeed also curious and would also like these drivers or any OTHER 5.25
drivers that might be out there because...I am curious if they or another
driver would allow a Apple PC Drive to be mounted on the desktop. The Apple PC
Drive is the 5.25 360k original Apple cross-platform solution which plugs into
either a special SE capable PDS card or a Mac II (only! as far as I can tell;
it would be nice if it worked in say a Quadra 950 or a 7100) Nubus card and
works in OS 7.1 (but not in 7.5.n) in AFE but will NOT mount said disk on the
Finder desktop. I am looking for a way to do this and also to do this in a
more weird format. I want to mount a ProDOS 360k on the desktop. AFE can SEE
a 360k ProDOS formated disk (originaly created on a Diamond Trackstar or a PC
Transporter) and recognizes it as ProDOS but says it has no translate file for
this format.... So, how do you tell the two: Finder meet Apple PC Drive this
is a ok disk (pat pat), PC Drive: meet Finder... Now GET ALONG!
There's politics for ya! ;)
now where did I leave that paper tape reader.......
