I recently posted asking if there was a product that would allow the use
of a Mac single-sided (400K) drive with the Amiga, for the purpose of
reading/writing Mac-readable disks.

It turns out that there is.  The Mac-2-Dos package from Central Coast
Software does allow the use of standard Macintosh drives, included the
Mac single-sided drive.  If you buy their special drive along with the
package, you get the bonus ability of using their drive as a standard
Amiga drive.  But if you don't need that capability, you don't need
their drive -- a standard Apple drive will do.

From my phone discussion with the folks at Central Coast, the Mac-2-Dos
package will be released in late June and will retail for $99.95 without
the disk drive.

For those of you on campus, Tech Electronics still had two Mac
single-sided drives left for $18 when I visited them today.
