- There is an Item called OPTION BOARD that lets you read, write
- and format MAC disks on ann IBM. I haven't yet scraped together the
- $119
- needed to buy it..so all I have is a reccomendation by a buddy who uses
- it. I haven't asked him directly but since he says it can read, WRITE
- and format Mac Discs, it would seem to be likely to go both ways.
- My limited understanding of how it works is basically to
- make your IBM drives "think" they are Mac drives while being used under
- the Board. Check around for more details.
