- Wow your message went through _16_ different stops before it arrived
- here! I cant't believe it! It took a total of eight days for it to
- arrive! Man, even Canada Post is more efficent than that! Yeesh.
-
- Anyway as per your inquiry, I only have a 720K drive and a 360K drive in
- my TransDrive. The documentation AE provides says that the PC Transporter
- doesn't support high density drives. You can try to hook one up to see if
- it works. I've heard that the floptical drives can read high density 3.5
- MS-DOS disks, you might want to look into this. I wonder how long it will
- take for you to receive this message.
