	The only Non-Mac disks you can read with the Mac internal
drive is 3.5" ProDOS disks from the Apple II Unidisks.  PS/2's are a
different density or something.  Apple provides Mac <-> MS-DOS transfers
using the PCDrive, a 5.25" drive that Apple makes which connects to the Mac
and reads Messy-DOS disks.
	I'm sure some smart young Egr. will figure a way to get the
Mac drive to read the PS/2's.  The format can't be THAT far off.
