Re: Writing BIN file to floppy

["Bryan Parkoff" <nospam@nospam.com>]

Clint,

    Do you mean that you want to read Apple II Diskettes from PC 5.25" 
floppy drive through Apple II Emulator software?  You can't, but you can 
only use images.  There is a special controller card like catweasel that 
allows to read Apple II diskettes on PC 5.25" floppy drive, but catweasel 
card is a ISA slot.  It is discontinued.  They already created PCI slot that 
it has a built in Commodore feature with the catweasel.
    I am sure that PCI slot may be discontinued couple years later from now. 
I think that it is best to stick images unless someone is willing to build 
controller card, otherwise they may feel like wasting time to do this.
