  25.  Not neccesarily true, in addition to using emulators, there was also Mac
  26. to-Disk which connected an Apple 800k drive to an Amiga floppy port. 
  27. Alas, the software tended to break on post 1.3 machines.   There are
  28. alternatives to Apple Diskcopy which will copy 800k disks to 1.4HD if it's
  29. programs you want to install.
