Reading Mac 800k Disks on Non-Mac Systems

On my Atari 520-ST, I have a "Magic Sac" from David Small, that emulates a Mac 128/512 or a Mac Plus with the appropriate ROMS. I bought the optional "Transporter One" which is a seperate computer (Z-80 Based, I think...) that reads and writes to 800k Floppies using the Floppy Controller port and the MIDI ports on the ST to communicate to the Transporter One. I also have a Spectre GCR, which is the follow on product when David Small started his own company. This unit has something in it that allows it to read/write to 800k Floppies without the Transporter One. The Transporter is slow, and we used to convert Mac Floppies to the Proprietary Magic Sac 800k Format that could be accessed with the ST's Floppy Controller. This was a pretty neat solution at the time, giving one a FASTER Mac than a Mac, with a bigger screen and access to Parallel Printers (using "Epstart"). I did a lot of advertising work on my ST back in the day. Unfortunately, my AERCO Ram upgrade gave up the ghost, and I can't find the Docs for it. So, I'm back to 512k unless I want to piggyback some RAM and take it up to 1024k. Used to have 2.5mb, which for a Mac Plus was plenty! Someday, I'll get it working again... Or find a MegaST cheap with a Hard Drive. Those were nice systems. A shame Atari didn't sell them as business computers in a professional form factor. I also used to have a Trackstar 128, which would allow a PC to Emulate an Apple ][+, and with a minor mod to certain floppy drives... Read and Write Apple II disks natively. I've gotta find another one of those someday. I think I have a board here called a "Hydra", at least... That's what the guy who sold it to me said it was... It was a board for an AT that was a MacPlus on a board, and allowed the PC to run Mac Software. I don't have any docs, software, or cables for it... And I'm not even sure this board IS a "Hydra" board. It has a 68k processor on it, but I don't see any Mac ROMS. This might be a terminal emulator board that someone thought was a Hydra Board.
