I can help with the hardware transfer though... I have a Central Point "Deluxe Copy II board" in my PC, with a 3.5 and a 1.2meg floppy(and a HD). The board let's me not only copy my protected IBM diskettes, as it's original intension, but it will swap files to/from Mac and IBM formats. I have the Copy II subdirectory on my hard drive in my path so all I do is add an "M" to my DOS commands. (I.E. MDIR, MCOPY...) I can even format Mac diskettes on my PC! supposedly the board will even duplicate Apple II, C-64 and Atari disk although I haven't tried it yet. I found a good deal on the board for $99 on sale. It's well worth that. If you have questions, please feel free to contact me. Derk Gates@cup.portal.com
