Well, once I track it down (DaynaFile II and Apple PC 5.25 drivers with DOS
Mounter) where would be an appropriate place to put it? I don't have any
server space to put anything on and I wouldn't want to just post it to the
newsgroup since, even though it's incredibly old and out of circulation it
could probably be considered pirated. I figure since you have the drive
though, you're entitled to it since it did come with it. I know it's a
nightmare to track down obscure drivers for obsolete, secondhand hardware.

Ah, I didn't think of the obvious :P guess I was just thinking Mac<->5.25
disk<->IIe without any kind of intermediary computers.


PS: I know there was someone else who wanted these drivers as well, so I
guess just reply here as well. But, my email cannot use large attachments so
that is not a feasible request.
