				all you need is a Central Point Software
Deluxe Option card , which is a 1/2 length 8-bit card that installs
between your drive and disc controller . it will read Mac 3-1/2" discs
directly ( assuming that you have a 3-1/2" drive , that is , without the
need for any additional software purchase . as a bonus , it will let you
back up _any_ copy-protected disc ( although i did see an ad for a copy
-protection scheme that claimed to defeat it , but i've never heard of a
program which it could not handle . )
