There should be an application on the more recent (system 7?) Mac system
disks called Apple File Exchange.  Once this program is launched, you should
be able to transfer files from the MS-DOS 1 meg or 2 meg disks to your Mac.
If you transfer the files from the MS-DOS disks to the Mac hard drive, AFE
will also let you move files to ProDOS disks.
