there *was* a way to
take AppleDOS disk images and cut 5.25" diskettes on some flavor of
Mac, or is a IIGS required? (I forget if you could hang any external
5.25" disks off the Mac (voltage issues) or even of you could, would
the IWM know what to do with it or not).
I'll leave the more informed reply to the more informed but I am positive
you can't hook an Apple ][ drive to a Mac. You can probably do it through
an Apple ][ card (I have one for the LC but can't find it right now to
check the connectors on the back). Sellam Ismail
