Classic Mac Gurus! - Tell me please

Yes, the classic can handle an 800k drive. Support for the 800k disks was dropped I believe in software, not hardware sometime around OS 8.?? Any Mac that has a floppy port should be able to work with an 800k drive, with the exception of possibly the 128k (the 512 needs the "Init 20" init to use an 800k drive, that same init may work with the 128. I have a feeling I've used it to add an HD20 to the 128 in the past, but I can't be sure, and I've seen reports that the HD20 does NOT work with the 128... if the reports are right, and I'm wrong, then the 128 should also fail to use an 800k drive for the same lack of HFS support reason) The Classic will work just fine with an 800k drive. The harder part will be finding 800k disks! (you can't reliably use HD disks as 800k. It will work, but not for long) -chris <http://www.mythtech.net>
