I second that. If you can feed the 5.25" floppy

dump the data onto a 3.5" floppy, from what I understand most any
midrange Mac should be happy to read it (I'm not sure about the
G3's or later). You can then format a dos floppy on the Mac and
dump it there.
Can a PowerMac handle a ProDOS floppy? I know my PowerBook 540c and SE/30
can. I also know that when I had to read in a lot of floppies I broke out
my PowerBook 540c instead of using my PowerMac 8500. I've wondered if the
real reason for dropping floppies isn't because they suck so bad on
PowerMacs speed wise!
So basically my questions are:
1. Which version of the Mac OS was support for ProDOS dropped
2. Can any PowerMacs read ProDOS floppies
