 TOPIC -----------------------------------------------------------

 Can the Apple 5.25 PC Drive (and card) read ProDOS 5.25-inch disks under AFE?

 DISCUSSION ------------------------------------------------------

 Apple 5.25 PC Drive only supports disks that are formatted using the MFM
 encoding methods.  Therefore, it does not read ProDOS-formatted disks, which
 use GCR.  Alternative ways to move data from the Apple II to the Macintosh
 include AppleShare, a serial link (cable and/or modem), and by first moving
 the
 ProDOS data to 3.5-inch disks, which any Macintosh will mount.

 You may find the AFE Works-Works translator helpful when actually translating
 the files.  It is on the InfoSource CD-ROM available from Apple.
