I have a MacII si (with a superdrive) and am trying to run MS-DOS files.  In
my user manual it says if I have a superdrive and Apple File Exchange I can
do this.  Then it goes on to list the procedure on how to convert MS-DOS to
Mac via the Apple File Exchange program.  So I get some games from an IBM friendand translate them as explained in my manual.  Everything goes fine until I go
to execute the files.  All of them give the system message "Application is busy or missing".  Am I missing something?  Do I need additional software or 
hardware?  The manual says all I need is a superdrive and Apple FIle Exchange.

If anyone knows how to do this please e-mail or post.  Thanks
