Or, get a BlueDisk card (see the FAQ for source) and a PC 3.5" high
density drive, a SuperDrive and controller, or a PC Transporter and
the standard Apple 3.5" drive and format and copy to an MS-DOS floppy
on the GS!

By the way, the program to read ProDOS 1.44MB MFM formatted disks
is called ProCOPY and if you format an MFM (720K or 1.44MB) 3.5"
disk in any of the above drives, then the PC can read it.

It seems like time to upload the program, Mitchell.  :)
