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.
