Apple File Exchange is a utility included on the Tidbits disk or Install 2 disk in system versions 7.0 through 7.1. In System 7.5, it was replaced by PC Exchange. Apple File Exchange could read floppy disks from Macs, as well as disks from DOS/Windows and ProDOS systems. This utility enabled Macs to read PC disks, but only if they were inserted after launching Apple File Exchange.
