1. The portable won't accept a 1.44mb disk
created with a PowerMac
but that contains System 6.0.1 (I get the disk with the "X" in it). I
thought that the drive was a 1.44mb disk.
The Mac Portables did ship with 1.44mb drives, but that doesn't
necessarily mean that's what yours has. I came across one once that had
been replaced with an 800k.
3. It will not accept an 800k disk formatted by
an SE/30 which
contains System 6.0.1.
4. It *will* accept an 800k installer disk, but it complains that the
disk contains a "minimal" script file, and that I need a "full"
install
script. Arrrgh...
So you actually get a happy Mac when you insert that disk? Have you
tried a genuine System Tools disk?

The bidder is some guy from Great Britain. Either he is seriously afflicted with
some sort of Sinclair Syndrome, has too damn much money and nothing to do
with it, or it's bogus like the guy who bid $600 on the C64 Educator. I suspect
the latter, because he has no feedback.
If it's choice #2, I have a spare C64 with a floppy I'd be willing to part
with........

I like the fact that it goes by the name "baggers" while the other
zero-feedback UK bidder calls itself "adders". Uh, yeah right.
