Pardon me, but I have a question that someone out there has an answer for.
The question is this: The Mac uses a variable speed drive, which is the reason
why the amiga is incapable of reading mac format disks (or at least partially).
A friend who currently ( I say currently beause I'm trying to passively    
persuade him to upgrade to an Amiga ) owns and ST says that Atari's Mac
emulator Spectre GCR (?) is able to fully read/write mac disks. Is this
possible? Is this true? Why is this. Questions, Questions, Questions..
