Untrue. I've both created and read 400K disk images with Disk Copy (and
DART) on various PPC machines running upto OS 9.
This includes some Powerbooks as well as a TAM and and 7100.
You do not need System 7.5. All that's required is Disk Copy and a
SuperDrive or 800K floppy drive. (USB floppy drives will not work.)
If you wish to read the files on MFS you need System 6 (or MFS lives on
OS X).
Thanks for the advice. After a few hours'
fiddling I've got the drive
reading/writing reliably. Now to find some 400k images of mac software
that'll run on a 128k :).
One of these days one of my tuits will be other than rhomboidal, and I'll put
System 7.5 on the 6100 in my storage locker (since that's the last version of
Mac OS that will deal with 400K disks) to run disk copy
