Sadly, the drives use a different recording method. The easiest way to
transfer the files to a dos machine is through a null modem cable or
modem. If you can't find anyone with an Apple, there are probably some
people on the net (like me) that could transfer the files to a dos disk
for you. If I can be of further assistance, let me know.
