Hi Matt;

I would like to know this as well !

A Pc Transport can have an Apple 3.5 inch drive connected to it and it
will read IBM 720K formatted disks. However the drive will formatt an
IBM 720k disk, but it will not be readable from an IBM compatable.

For the the disk to be use-able on both the Pc Transporter and IBM
compatables, the 720K disk needs to be fromatted from an IBM
compatable.

I use one 720K disk to copy stuff (mainly text files) from my IBM to
my Apple IIGs to my PowerBook1400cs and all other combinations.
However lately I have been using FileShare between the to apples.

Anyway, I hope this helps, if you have anymore questions, let me know
and I will see if I can help.
