|AFE can read the disks just fine.  It's the disk drive that can't.  The low-
|level disk format between Apple and MS-DOS disks are different.
I have a question along those lines....  I have a apple //e with a SCSI Rev C.
and a Seagate st277n.  I am planning on getting an IBM and was wondering if
is any way that I can do disk sharing between the two computers without buying
any special hardware (other than a SCSI controler for the IBM of course.)?
