The floppy was initialized as single sided (ie 720K). I thought that the IICX should be able to read MS-DOS floppies. Am I doing something wrong? Should I be running the File Exchange Program first? I don't see much documentation for this feature. A second question concerns a program that can draw 3-d plots. I've heard there is software called DScience (not too sure of the name) that is coming out or is already out. Has anyone heard of this program? How good is it compared to what is available on Systat or Mathematica? I'll be happy to summarize results. Thanks in advance for your help --- Fredric J.
