- there's a simple trick to make a disk readable on spectre and Mac. I don't
- have a spectre but it's supposed to work:
- start the Program 'convert files' and insert disk (on either hardware).
- When the format box appears, it suggests 800k Mac or 720k MS-DOS. If you
- click on the disk Symbol in the box you may suddenly format
- 720k Mac !!
-
- This format is supposedly recognised by both hardwares. In sys7 this Hack
- still works, if you edit the rsc and make the disk-symbol selectable again
- (can't remember the Mac-term for it).
