- Whoever was asking this should do things the easy way. Get the LC IIE
- Card Installer disk and grab the Prodos Extension out of it and toss it in your
- roommate's Mac. V 2.1 is the latest and it's System 7 compatible. Once you
- have that, you can mount/format Prodos disks right on ANY Mac's desktop.
- MacWrite II has an AW XTND Translator for AppleWorks so you should be peachy.
