- Sorry, but there is not. Apple uses a format for HD disks that is similar to
- that of a PC, which is why you can use TransMac on a PC and PC Exchange on a
- Mac. Amiga floppies are formatted in a way that cannot be read by the standard
- PC controller (no inter-sector gap). I've seen claims that a Copy II option
- board will do it, but I got no response when I asked for details.
