   Howdy! Alan,   
      
   The Mad Dog USB FDD I bought at Radio Shack many years ago Reads the   
   720KB disks that I use to transfer some of the Commodore Files so I can   
   read them on this here XP box.   
      
   I use a program called MSDOS64 with my C= 1581 FDD to Write C= files to   
   a 3-1/2" disk that I formatted on the XP box at 720KB .   
      
   It takes some time doing that but some times I want to use a text file   
   that was made on the C-64 on a DOS or Windows computer.

   The ones Tom sent me are 1.44MB disks.
