It been all it has advertised. I use it to convert MS-DUNG files for use of the Mac I perfer the Mac for large and complex projects. I've encountered no problems with WP4.2 files to WP Mac, Dbase III+ to FoxBase Mac (this did require the data be transferred in ASCII instead of .DBF). WP4.2 to WORD 4.0 conversion is not what I would like. I suspect it may be the method(s) I've been using. The ability of the 2.4 Drive to format HD disks to 2.4 M was a factor in my selection. It was my intention to use this a backup of my hard disk. Diskfit HD Backup won't recognize the increased capacity. I believe FastBack II may be the solution, but I have been able to try it yet. I have tried to use the 2.4 as the destination when downloading using Zterm. It seems to reduce the efficency of the download. I haven't experimented enough to determine if it is particular to the 2.4 or common to any floppy drive. The biggest complaint it that this equipment makes it so easy to take work home I'm take more of it to be done there. I'll post the address later after I check the documentation. --- * Via ProDoor 3.01R
