	I have a friend that just converted from the IBM world to the Mac world
Just one problem. He has some text files on MS-DOS disks that she *NEEDS*.
Enter me. I have a Mac SE with a superdirve and Apple File exchange. The 
problem. When I insert a disk formatted by DOS 2.1 when I'm in AFC I get the
dialog box:
	/--------------------------------------------\
	I /---\	 Apple File Exchange cannot 	     I
	I |   |	 read this disk. Do you want to      I
	I \---/	 initialize it?                      I
	I  					     I
	I  * 400k	/-----------------------\    I
	I  * 800k	| Macintosh		|    I
	I  * 720k	| MS-DOS		|    I
	I  		| ProDOS		|    I
	I		\-----------------------/    I
	I					     I
	I		Initialize	Eject	     I
	\--------------------------------------------/
My question. Am I doing anything wrong, or is it a problem/incompatability 
with AFC/DOS2.1.
	E-mail will be appreciated.
	I will summarize if I get enough responses, requests for info.
Thanks - CRASH
