    No problem reading the PC disks on the Mac. This occurs only after having
    written to the disc with the Mac. The Aptiva can read floppy discs from
    other PC's with no problem. Nobody else has a Mac where I live at this
    time, so I can't check other Mac discs. However, I do have a TEAC USB
    Floppy Drive FD05PU that I originally purchased for my UMAX Pulsar (Euro
    S900), with a Keyspan USB PCI card and Mac OS 9.0.4 (Z), but that has
    never worked. I could try this on the Aptiva to test floppies, if there
    is a way to get it to work with Win 98 SE (UK), as I have installed a
    Keyspan USB card on the Aptiva as well, but am lacking drivers.

    Cheers,

    Brian
