- If you know any Mac or PC owners with either a SCSI interface or a
- parallel Zip drive, they could re-format them to Mac or PC, since they
- would just look like unformatted disks to those machines. Then you could
- re-format them to AmigaDOS. The second option would be to degauss the disks,
- but I think it's more likely you know someone with a PC than a degausser ;-).
