I'm using standard 1.44mb Floppy drives (Used to work with my 720k drives as
well...).

My Atari-ST also reads/Writes to Mac 800k Diskettes, except their I have a
box called the Transporter One from a company I believe is long out of
business..

For anyone out there who has an Atari-ST, there is a product called the
SPECTRE-128 that emulates a Mac Plus/SE on the Atari-ST. The guy who makes
this David Small is a Mac Guru of the top flight and has 100% Mac
compatibility on the Atari. (It helps that the Atari is a Vanilla 68000-Based
machine and he does require you to buy a set of Mac 128k Roms.)

Latest versions support 1.44mb Superdrives, etc...

I'll post info if anyone is interested. I had given this info to Barbara at
ARDI twice in the hopes that David Small might give a hand in making our
favorite IBM-Based Mac Emulator faster and more compatible..
