I have the copy2pc options + board and have been very happy with it.  I
can read and write mac disks in the 800K format.  I have not tried the
1.44M format, I don't think it will work on my configuration.  The board
comes with software which provides a bunch of mac format commands (e.g.
mformat, mdir, mmd, mrd, mcopy, mcd, etc.)  Mcopy, for example, will copy
a file to or from a mac format floppy using wild cards like ms-dos copy.

The board is installed in a slot with the cable from the floppy controller
to the copy2pc board and another cable to the floppy.

Incidently, their telephone support is quite good.  These are the same
folks that make PC Tools Deluxe (Central Point Software, Inc.)  I think
they are in Beaverton, OR.
