If I got the correct impression, the new Mac floppy drives, the 1.44 meg
type, actually use the same track/sector layout, etc, as the rest of the
world (e.g., MS-DOS).  Thus, one would only need software to translate
(on either end) between the two different file-system organizations of
files on the sectors.  Or is my impression of temporary sanity on the
part of Apple only an illusion?
