Or, like me, a lot of local Apple II users I know also have older Macs
sitting around playing Apple II peripheral. I keep a Quadra 650 around
for just such a purpose. I reads/writes 800K ProDOS disks just fine and
I can easily use it as a file server for my IIGS.
So software like CiderPress just doesn't seem to be needed by someone
like me. Everything I need is built into Mac OS 8.1.
