Apple File Exchange

Apple File Exchange

Apple File Exchange is a utility included on the Tidbits disk or Install 2 disk in system versions 7.0 through 7.1. In System 7.5, it was replaced by PC Exchange.

Apple File Exchange could read floppy disks from Macs, as well as disks from DOS/Windows and ProDOS (Apple II) systems.

This utility enabled Macs to read PC disks, but only if they were inserted after launching "Apple File Exchange". If "Apple File Exchange" wasn't launched while inserting PC-formatted floppy, the Mac would complain that the disk inserted "was not a Macintosh disk" and requested initialisation.

Bugs

* A high-density diskette in DOS format formatted as a 720K disk will not function correctly; the Mac assumes that any high-density disk has been formatted as an HD disk. To solve this problem, cover the square hole with a piece of tape "opposite" the write-protect tab and re-insert the disk. (This square hole identifies the disk as a high-density disk.) Covering the the square hole will make it appear to disk drive as a DD disk.
