Uh, can you read floppies under DOS? 1.4M Mac disks work for me. If you
can't read 1.4M disks then perhaps your drive is broken.
Or do you mean 800K Mac floppies? If _that_'s what you mean, then Q1.13 in
the FAQ comes right out and says you can't. If there is PC software out
there that you know of that will let you, I'd be very interested in hearing
about it, as I have a number of 800K Mac disks and I don't like having to
copy them to 1.4M diskettes.
400K disks are probably not readable either; I imagine they have the same
bizarre sectoring as the 800K, just single-sided.
I honestly don't see what ARDI *could* do to resolve your problem. HD
Mac disks work fine if you have a working floppy drive. Other formats are
not supported.
