I doubt you could put them on the LC's hard drive. You will need a 5.25" disk drive, or hack up an connector for your Disk II's to plug into the IIe card. Prodos programs are no problem of course. Must haves: Prince of Persia, Arkanoid, Ultima V, Rommel (obviously these are a matter of personal taste) Also Appleworks 3.0 and proterm 2.2. Both are better than, and much cheaper, than equivalent Mac offerings. Incider is now covering the Mac, so this is likely your best option. I personally would not waste my money on it. A2 Central is Apple II only, and is occasionally anti-Mac, which may rankle you, but is very good for understanding the IIe side of things. I use Programs Plus all the time. Great outfit. And they sell Mac stuff too. I find that Spending $100/month on GS software makes businesses very helpful when you have a problem. (And people say nothing is being written for the GS! $100/month is a lot of software (well, two Mac or IBM programs a year, but this is Apple II stuff)) UUCP: bkj386!pnet91!ericmcg INET: ericmcg@pnet91.cts.com
