Emulation
This app works with: SheepShaver, Basilisk II,

The Control Panel "Macintosh PC Exchange", or short "PC Exchange", enables you to exchange documents between Macintoshes and DOS computers, using DOS formatted floppies.

When "Macintosh PC Exchange" is installed on your Mac, you can read from and write to DOS formatted floppies.

Being sold separately when Mac OS 7.0 to 7.1.1 were current, it is part of Mac OS 7.5 and newer.

Install this Control Panel like you would install other Control Panels, simply by dragging it onto the System Folder (must be blessed to work this way). The Finder will ask you whether you want to copy the Control Panel into the Control Panels folder, click the "OK" button.

About the downloads:

• First download link above contains German version 1.0.1
• Second download link contains the English version from the same era (ver. 1). Disk Copy 4.2 image, also compressed with Stuffit 4.
• Third download is English language version 1.0.1.
• 4th DL English language, PC Exchange version 1.0.4 (US SSW 7.1.2)

• Mac OS 7.0 or newer
• Floppy drive that is able to read DOS floppies, like Apple SuperDrive (also known as FDHD floppy drive) .
• The Apple SuperDrive is part of all Macintosh models except
  Macintosh Plus, Macintosh II w/o replaced drive, Macintosh SE w/o replaced drive.
• "Macintosh PC Exchange" requires part of memory (100 - 150K) .
  Therefore, install it only if you want to use floppies created with DOS computers.

Back in the days, I've used SoftPC to run DOS games, but that was the only I've seen from DOS personal computers.

This Control Panel enables you to initialize floppies in DOS format.

I did not use the file mapping window much in the days of yonder.
Very useful was the option to load a Mac driver for DOS removables at a given SCSI-ID, e.g 40MB Syquest cartridges.
The system extensions for DOS floppies were loaded at boot and just worked, methinks.
We had a Mac, after all.

The first screenshot above shows the main window of Macintosh PC Exchange.
The three buttons in the bottom area of the window will initiate the following commands:
"Anlegen..." means "Create...", "Ändern.." means "Change...", and "Löschen" means "Delete".
Please note that "Löschen" isn't completed with three points at the end ("..."),
so this command probably will not ask whether you want to perform this step, it just will run.
