- No. The fact is, that apple disk drives are PHYSICALLY different than ibm ones, and write to
- parts of 720k disks that IBM never designed their drives to read. If you need to read the disk,
- send it to a friend with a mac (if you can find someone) and have him put it on a 1.44 disk. Yet
- another brilliant idea from apple--non compatibility! ;)
