Hello again!
I've tried the tip with the tape. The borowed external floopy drive (on the
imac) can mount (is this the right word?) the HD disks as 800k. Unfortunately,
when I've tried to insert them in the plus, he (my plus has a personality of
his own, ok? :-))) could not recognise them. And when I've tried to mount the
"patched" disks in the plus, the procedure failed. Is there anything that I've
possibly neglected?
And Scott, what is this chip upgrade you wrote? Can you give me more details?
Thanx allot, and goodnight (it's 1:00 after midnight here in Athens)!
