We purchased a Dayna file with a 360k 5.25 and a 720K 3.5. It has been used
at least once on every work day for the last 3 months. We have not had a
single problem with it. We found it easy to set up and use. The init for the
drive is large so we can't run fullwrite on a Plus when it is installed  
(still waiting for my memory upgrade). The software does not support
FullWrite or WordPerfect on the Mac or WP 5 on the IBM side. This I hope
will come out in the next release of MacLink (They actually produce the 
software). 

The only problem we have had is that in certain translations you cannot
have a Mac file that is bigger than the magic 32K limit. This is not 
consistant for all the translaters but does seem to occur going from 
Word on the Mac to WordPerfect on the PC.

Hope this is helpful
