If he doesn't have SCSI, and would like to get the Super Drive package from Shreve Systems, that's a fairly inexpensive road to travel. BTW, Shreve Systems had everything in stock as recently as this week. That's when I purchased mine.

Doing what steve says will produce a disk that CAN be read on a GS with a superdrive controller, but since such a GS can read native MS-Dos disks, why nother? Just put an ms-dos disk in the gs.One good reason to bother is that this method completely bypasses the 8.3 filename problem of the IIgs's DOS FST. That's a big deal if you have a lot of files to rename.Which really doesn't help with the question that was asked all that much. Ya still can't read such a disk in a GS without adding a superdrive controller.
