- This makes good sense. Apple used a similar scheme to cram over 800K on
- the 5 1/4 floppies for the original Lisa Office System computers (in
- 1983).

- Does anyone know of a way to read or create disk images from old 5 1/4
- ProDOS disks on a PC? I want to convert my old //c Appleworks stuff over &
- use it on Clarisworks. I'm also going to try an Apple IIe on Mac emulator
- under Executor (on OS/2 virtual DOS) just for fun!
