1) I've inserted a Macintosh floppy disk into my computer, but MacSEE won't read it...how come?

MacSEE will only read 1.44 MB formatted Macintosh disks...it will not read 800K Macintosh disks due to a hardware incompatibility. This means that the disk you're using must have been formatted as a 1.44 MB disk (just because the disk has 1.44 MB printed on it does not mean it was formatted as a 1.44 MB Mac disk). If the disk really is a 1.44 MB Mac disk (a Mac reports that amount of storage available on the disk) then the disk should read just fine and we'd be interested in taking a look at the disk ourselves. So far we have never run into a 1.44 MB Mac disk that MacSEE cannot read.

2) I'm using MacSEE '95 and can't seem to read a Macintosh CD-ROM...what's wrong?

Yes, it's true...versions of MacSEE '95 prior to 6.0 did not read Mac CD-ROMs properly. This is because Window's CDFS (CD file system) blocks any requests to read CDs of a non-standard format. MacSEE 6.0 is now available for Windows '95/'98 and it solves this problem.
