I need to clarify a couple of things in a previous post about the Little Blue
card from AE.

> 1: The Apple 5.25 drives can be used to read (read only) IBM formatted disks
and access data or programs for the AE card.

In order to read an IBM formatted disk you must have an IBM type drive.  Once
you have loaded you software and are running under MS-DOS you can save (or
copy) your files to an Apple 5.25 (143k) disk and run them from there.  What
this means is that if you are in a school (or similar) situation, you could
buy say 5 Little Blues, and buy one of the AE IBM type drives, then transfer
your IBM programs to MS-DOS formatted Apple 5.25 (143k) drives and use the Apple 
disks for everybody.  (this way you only have to buy one AE drive). Another
way you could do this is to use the Apple 3.5 drive (the grey ones) and plug
it directly to the back of the 'Lil Blue.  This will now function as a 720k
IBM drive.  btw, the AE 5.25 drive is a 360k drive.
