Comment:

I'm looking for someone who has an old Mac SE with a low density 3.5-inch floppy drive.

I have Apple GS text files on a low density, 3.5-inch diskette, that I need converted to PC format.

I'm told that the easiest way to do that would be to read the files into a Mac SE, save them as Mac text files, then e-mail or FTP the files to a PC.

Please help me!

Problem isn't with the software - it's the fact that a PC can't read 800K Mac- or Apple-formatted disks due to the cheapo floppy mechanism and controller used in PCs.
