Does anyone know where to find out the format for Spectre disks? And also 
the format of a real Mac disk? I've ask in comp.sys.mac.programmer for the 
specifications of a Mac disk, but have received not a single rpely or 
followup to my original post. I've checked the library at school and
couldn't find anything either. 

I downloaded the file specstuf.lzh from atari.archive. It has a program 
that can format a 720k MFM Mac disk on the Atari that you just stick into a 
Mac with a HDFD and it reads it no problem. (This is without any extra 
software one the Mac end.)

I would really like to figure out the different formats, so maybe I could 
write some sort of conversion prg that would convert from 
mac<->spectre<->ST.

Any help would be appreciated.
