I've seen this repeated on comp.sys.apple2 many times, but is it
true? I have PC Exchange v 1.0.5 on both an LCIII and an LC575,
and it won't read ProDOS formatted discs. Is the version of PC Exchange
sold outside the U.S. different, or what?

BTW, the ProDOS File System system extension that comes with the
Apple //e card works fine on most system 7 Macs, even if they don't
have a //e card. However, if you have an ethernet card in your LC
instead of a //e card, and you use the ProDOS File System extension,
it will cause problems, especially with Telnet...
