Being new to the concept of Executor, I've downloaded 1.99p and p3. It
runs just fine on my Gateway 2000 486DX2-66V, with one exception. I
can't seem to read Mac floppies. I've tested on a couple of 1.44
floppies from my Mac, including an original Apple HyperCard diskette.
I've gotten varied results, including no response whatever (no new drive
icon - 1.99p), correct drive ID and Window with no contents (1.99p), and
terminal failure with register dump (1.99p3). I always boot my system
clean (F5) under DOS 6.22. Any ideas as to what might be causing this
would be greatly appreciated; sharing projects with my Mac via floppy is
my primary interest in Executor. (Yes, I know I can do all this via my
SuperDrive with DOS floppies--I'm interested in a two-way street.)
Thanks for any assistance,
- Jeff
