I'm using Central Points PC Copy II Plus Option Board.  It reads GRC formated 
3.5"  720K diskettes in the normal ibm-clone 3.5" HD drive.  The software 
supplied with it can only read Mac formated disks, not PRODOS.  This lets me 
go one way only.   MSDOS -> Mac 720K -> IIe HFX -> ProDos.  To go the other 
way, I either use a serial cable, or borrow a Macintosh.

In theory, it should be possible to write either a IIe program to write to MAC 
formated 720K disks, or a program to use the COPY II+ in ProDos format.

I doubt that the COPY II+ is sold anymore.
