- Two ShareWare programs are available. Both are available from the Simtel
- Software Repository primary mirror site OAK.Oakland.Edu (141.210.10.117):

- Filename Type Length Date Description
- ==============================================
- mac-ette.zip B 19932 930108 Read 1.4meg Mac floppies in a 1.44meg PC drive
- macse31d.zip B 82394 930827 Read/write Mac disks on PC. DOS & WIN3.x. DEMO
- macsee22.zip B 54701 930325 Read/write Macintosh disks on PC. DOS & WIN3.x
-
- macsee will read and write mac files. It is crippled to allow only
- text (ascii) files to be transferred. It also has an overabundance of
- nag screens. It has a dos and windows version.
-
- mac-ette will read mac disks only. It is quick and easy. Only
- drawbacks: 1) can't write to mac disks, 2) crashes on Zenith PC's.
-
- Neither program will format mac disks. Macsee is supposed to be able
- to do it once you pay for the program, but who knows if that is true?
- It is too crippled to be evaluated.
-
- There is also a commercially sold program, Mac-In-DOS, on the market
- that is supposed to read, write, and format.
-
- My recommendation: Use Mac-ette to read mac disks. Get yourself a
- copy of Apple File Exchange to both read and write PC disks on your
- Mac. Format the disks ahead of time on the proper machine.
