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?
I believe it depends on the ROM version and you're supposed to be able to tell by
hitting that hidden reset at the right rear thorugh the vents, or the one next to the
reset. You're supposed to get a smiley
faced computer I think if it has the proper ROM for adding the 800k floppy, a sad face for
the one you have to upgrade for 800k.
