Re: Do recent Macs read 800K discs or run 68K software?

[John-Robert La Porta]

If you had the right equipment, you could probably pull it off. The 
problem is, no USB floppy drives that I have seen can read 800ks, just 
1.4s. So once you go from the original iMac up, I think there is no 
800k capability as far as hardware goes (no USB 800k drives, and no 
floppy ports and/or motherboard ribbon connectors). But, even OS X 10.3 
has the capability of reading an 800k HFS disk image file and mounting 
it, so I suppose if you did fnd hardware somehow to read 800ks, the new 
machines OS could support them.
