689.0. "Idea: Spectre reading MSDOS/Atari disks??" by BERN01::RUGGIERO () Thu Nov 30 1989 08:22

I have a suggestion to make:

The other night I could get my hands on a Mac SE with the new multiformat
disk drives. Nice to see it read and write MSDOS floppies and treat them 
like Mac disks. 

And now, Ladies and Gentlemen, raise the curtain, open your eyes wide:
Our beloved AtariST has drives that read and write MSDOS disks!! - And
so has our beloved Spectre - and the new Spectre GCR reads and writes
Mac diskettes, too. 

So then you programmers out there in Spectre-land: Who is the first with
and INIT that gives the Mac OS the ability to work the Atari drives in the
MSDOS-mode??!!!

HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A MACINTOSH+ READING AND WRITING MSDOS FORMAT WITHOUT
ANY ADDITIONAL AND EXPENSIVE HARDWARE!?!?!

PS I do not have the time nor the experience to do this by myself, but I
might work on that together with someone else?  Any takers?
