    Hi again,

    Can anyone tell me why I can't get Mac floppies or DOS floppies to work
    on an IBM Aptiva, when I have DataViz MacOpener and/or MacDrive 98
    installed? Regardless of whether I have formatted in DOS or Mac on the
    IBM, when I replace it in the Aptiva after the floppy being used on my
    Mac (PB 1400)? I can do a DOS dir for a DOS floppy, the file is found and
    then all of a sudden, I get the message that the floppy is unreadable
    "Abort, Fail, Retry". In Win 98 SE (UK) I never get access to the disk,
    but am told that it is unreadable because of (sector 0) being unavailable
    or non-existant. Any help is deeply appreciated.

    Cheers,

    Brian
