:by provoking thought and response", I have to draw the line when the
:topics being discussed are, basically, a waste of time.  It has long
:since been determined that the Amiga drives cannot read Mac disks.
:Period.  Further discussion is less than useless, and will, in fact,

	Ha.  That attitude is a fast way to get left behind the times!  In
this business, *nothing* is impossible.   Even if one were to accept that 
fact, the discussion was still not a 'waste of time'.  I for one gleemed a lot
of useful information about Apple's disk driver and format (although GCR is
old news to people like Bryce and I, who have picked through Commodore's 2030/
1541 series floppy drive roms with a fine toothed comb).

P.S.  The Mac+ disk IO r/w times in BYTE are a crock.... I ran the tests myself
and came up with about the same throughput as an Amiga... less even!
