   Scott, scott. When will you ever learn to think before posting some
things and trying to pass yourself off as a credible resource?
Despite quite a lot of work trying to get you to realize that you're
just plain wrong to useless on a lot of stuff, you persist.

   Sure, the Bluedisk will let you connect PC 5.25" and 3.5" drives to
a //e, but you neglected to mention that there's no software for the
//e to read these disks. [PC Transporter users excepted]. And there's
no way that their existing Apple II disks would work in these drives,
or any existing way to copy data to ProDOS-formatted PC disks.
