- 1. You can transvert Atari -> Mac and vice versa using RS232.
- 2. You can use MS-DOS Disks in 720K Mode using Access PC or DOS Mounter under
- Spectre, it works very well.
- 3. You can use Mac 720K Disks. It's not a joke, it works! Apple distribute a
- Programm with System and Finder, it's called Transverter(?) I think. In
- German its called "Dateien konvertieren". If it is running and you put an
- unformatted Disk into the diskdrive an alertbox apears on the screen. You
- can see there 3 entries like Mac 800K (standart Mac), Apple Prodos (Apple 2)
- and Mac 720K (disabled). When you click with your mouse onto the Disk-Icon
- in the alertbox, the Mac 720K mode is magically enabled. Then you can format
- your Disk as Mac 720K (even under Spectre!). But not all Macs esspecially
- old Mac Plus like this special Format. Newer Macs shouldn't have any
- problems with these disks.
