Macintosh PC Exchange: Apple 5.25-Inch Disk Drive
I have a Macintosh LC with an Apple 5.25-inch disk drive attached. When
I put a ProDOS or MS-DOS disk in the drive, the computer doesn't mount it
to the Desktop. Why ?
A Macintosh LC uses an Apple 5.25-inch disk drive in Apple IIe mode only.
Macintosh PC Exchange is only active in Macintosh mode, and therefore won't be
active. A Macintosh LC in Apple IIe mode won't recognize MS-DOS disks, and
a Macintosh LC in Macintosh mode won't recognize ProDOS disks. When in
Apple IIe mode, it should recognize ProDOS disks.
