Some users have had problems with MacLink Plus from DataViz, Inc.; it
doesn't work well with Apple File Exchange (AFE) and the Apple 5.25-inch
drive. The reason is that earlier versions of MacLink Plus were created
before these products were developed.
Prior to the introduction of AFE and the Apple 5.25-inch drive, the earlier
versions of MacLink Plus were one of the few file transfer and conversion
utilities for moving files between the PC and Macintosh. However, with the
introduction of AFE, DataViz diversified its product line by introducing
additional translators for AFE. The DataViz AFE translators should fulfill
your customer's needs. They also support the Apple 5.25-inch drive.
MacLink Plus/translators v2.12 includes a library of over 46 different
translation combinations that extend the translation capabilities of the
Apple File Exchange utility. It provides automatic conversion of a file
format and contents between a variety of normally incompatible
applications.
Users with a number of PCs and Macintoshes should investigate connecting
them via LocalTalk and then mounting the files to the desktop using TOPS.
