- The program's name is 'II in a Mac'. I don't remember the company's name,
- but it is an old program, so I don't know if it works with the newer
- machines. It works on an SE20 and SE30, though.
- The program allows the user to transfer stuff from the Apple II series to the
- Mac via cable, so the 5,25" disks appear as documents on the Mac screen. It
- also accepts 3,5" duo disks in the Mac's disk drive.
- The program emulates the IIe model and can run both DOS 3.3 and ProDOS
- applications. The 5,25" disk drives appear on the screen and the user can
- choose which disk to insert from the 5,25" document list.
-
- I was planning to buy this program some one and a half year ago and then it
- was supposed to cost about $200. As I said before I cannot remember the
- companys name, but I've seen their ad in MacUser now and then on the market-
- place pages.
-
- Hopefully there is someone out there that knows the company's name.
