- Please tell me more about this. This has been a major pain for me here as
- our macs are SEs' and all I ever get from people is "You can not format or
- read an 800k disk on your PC 'cause of the drive" Never mind the fact that I
- can read 720k (740?) PC disks and/or 1.44 and take the 720 to our Amiga and
- it reads. Never mind the fact that it can read both high Density and normal
- disks. I am thankful to hear about this "Deluxe Option Board" as now maybe I
- can truely get a multi format set up going. The way I have to do it now is
- use Mac-n-dos to format, Executor to move files (Mac-n-dos does it too
- but...) and then one of the fellows that works here brings in his Mac laptop
- and puts the file on it and then formats an 800k disk on the SE and puts
- that....well, you get the idea. Argggghhhhhhh!!!!!!
- SO basicly...tell me everything you can about this product. Is it an add in
- board? Or software only? Thanks fer the time.

- Well, this is a small half sized board that plugs into a slot and attaches
- between my disk controller and floppies/tape drive.
-
- It allows me to copy protected disks, speeds up my tape drive and lets me
- read/write/format Mac 800k diskettes with simple commands:
-
- DOS MAC
- ----------------------------------------
- DIR MDIR
- FORMAT MFORMAT
- CD MCD
- etc....
-
- I didn't know the board was discontinued as upgraded software is posted every
- so often on Central Points BBS.
-
- I would call Central Point to be sure...
