Your best bet would be to get any beige colored Macintosh with a 1.4 MB floppy drive (which is basically anything from the SE in 1987 on up to the G3 in the mid to late 1990's) and transfer the 800k disc(s) to 1.4 MB format. Then any modern Mac will be able to read it.
As mentioned though, modern Macs don't have floppy drives so there would have to be an external USB drive or, alternatively, you could transfer the info on the floppies to a CD-R or a USB Flash drive. --- Paul Gallagher <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Do recent Macs read 800K discs?
