- I don't know of any, i'm not a technical expert but the Macintosh drive is radically different
- from the Amiga drives; it reads it at a few different speeds(?)
- What I do is use msh (a PD program that allows the reading/writing of IBM disks) and then use
- Apple File Exchange to translate the files of the IBM disk. This, of course, only works if you
- have a Mac with the drive that can handle IBM disks (Superdrive (???)).
- Its an ugly way to do it but it works with not too much inconvenience.
