No. The fact is, that apple disk drives are PHYSICALLY different than ibm ones, and write to
parts of 720k disks that IBM never designed their drives to read. If you need to read the disk,
send it to a friend with a mac (if you can find someone) and have him put it on a 1.44 disk. Yet
another brilliant idea from apple--non compatibility! ;)
