That right there is proof that you need additional hardware to properly
write Mac disks.
However, there is a program on the PC called HFVexplorer that does write mac
disks pretty well on a PC. I'm not sure how it does it, but it does.
I tried using that when I was trying to write 400k disks for my Lisa but
gave up and used TransMac instead. The process was:
Format 1.4mb floppy on Mac
Use HFVExplorer (or transmac) to copy image file to this disk on PC
Use appletalk to transfer said floppy from the mac that formatted it to a
mac capable of writing 400k disks (Iici I think)
Create 400k disk
Boot lisa
Drink beer :)
