Okay, this is probably a dumb question, but will an
800k drive function in a
Mac 512k? Since the ROM only recognizes the smaller-size drive, will it just
ignore the top R/W head and work fine otherwise?
At worst, it can be accessed as an 800k drive after boot time if used in
conjunction with the HD20 Init and System Software 1.1
I forget what version of System this means.. 5.something, I think. Not
sure the Finder rev matters, so long as it works with that System.
I'm still trying to get the definitive word on the HD20 Init: what it does
and what it works on. I recently got a 512k to frotz with so I'll get
around to finish those trials Real Soon Now.
ok
