Those $#%&$*^% 800 k disks. There are ways, but
I have yet to successfully
download and transfer anything to my Mac+ . The earlier Mac FAQ straight out
said it couldn't be done. Likely the easiest way is to find some one to do
it
on his Superdrive to a formatted 800 disk.
Or you could just buy a Mac IIsi or similiar for around $50 and do it
yourself.
The easiest way to do it would be to find someone with
a Mac that's in your
area. BTW I'm not sure you can create the floppies on a PPC Mac, it might
take a 68k Mac. I had problems with this about a year ago, but I can't
remember if I was creating Mac, Apple IIgs, or Lisa floppies. The PPC
Mac's do not seem to handle the floppy drive as well as the 68k based ones,
I've noticed this with standard Macintosh and PC 1.44Mb floppies.
I haven't had any trouble making 800k disks on my PM 6100. I did have
trouble making a System 0.9 disk on 400k, though (not sure if that's the
PM or the Mac Plus I was trying to run it on, though).
Sincerely,
Tom Owad
