	The Translator One(tm) can read, write and format Mac(tm) disks.
Depending on the particular floppy disk drive you are using there *may*
be some limitations.  With some drives the disks formatted by the
Translator One are not writable on a real Mac, since the Mac always
writes to a disk when it is inserted the Mac may crash the disk. 
Solution: either format the disk on a real Mac or write protect the disk
before putting it into the Mac.
