I've used it and it works, allowing you to read, write and format Mac 800K and 400K (HFS & MFS) disks. NOTE: It does not read high density Mac II disks, nor does it work on all brands of 3.5" drive. Notably it does not work with the Mitsubishi mechanism. >Bill Kline | "We have so much time, and Aaron.
