It comes with the necessary software to read and write Mac disks on a p.c. It will work on either a high (1.4m) or low (720k) 3.5" drive. It will also copy Apple II, CPM, Amiga, Atari, and almost all copy protected pc disks too. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Geoffrey S.
