    Not to mention the most elegant solution of all: An external SuperDrive  
connected to an Apple II 3.5 Disk Controller Card, using System 6.0.1 with
the MS-DOS FST installed (read-only, but still nice).

    With utilities like MSU, the FST and ProCopy (on the PC side), it's
been a snap transferring data between my IIgs and PC (like sending over
Soundsmith sequences to play with MTP, under Win95 with DirectX :)
