   All the new machines are now shipping with a 3.5" disk drive also.  The 2.0
   OS will read all the common MS-DOS and Mac 3.5" disk formats on this drive
   as well as the Unix filesystems it can install.  It does all this
   automagically.  Just insert the disk and it determines the format and
   interfaces to it properly.

You have to buy 3rd party software to read/write Mac diskettes.  It
will read/write DOS disks right out of the box, though.
