Ok, I was wondering how to handle the 800k disk issue. Im currently trying to get the 575 on the net via a lc ethernet card. When That happens I will have to give a go at downloading system 6. At the risk of sounding like an idiot, where can you buy 800k disks? Do they still have them at Bestbuy, Circuit city, Compusa etc? -----"Compact Macs" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: ----- To: "Compact Macs" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> From: Antonio Rodr�guez <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: "Compact Macs" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: 08/02/2004 19:30 Subject: Re: Mac plus keyboard and mouse Sherman Chen ha escrito: > There are software out there that let a PC read/write to a Mac disk. > BTW, you also need to have some double side, double density disks, as > Mac Plus, don't know anything about those 1.44M Floppy. You can't write floppies for a Plus in a PC. The Plus can only use an Apple-specific format of 800 Kb per disk. PC drives are completely unable to read or write that format. External USB disk drives for the newer Macintoshes have the same problem. The only way to create a boot disk for an "800 Kb Mac" is to create them using another Mac with a suitable drive (any model from the SE FDHD to the G3 series will do the trick). A Mac Classic, for example, is really handy here because it can read without problem a PC 1.44 Mb disk containing a disk image, and then dump the disk image itself to a 800 Kb disk. Some people say that this is the only use for a Classic, a sentence I don't agree with, but that's another story ;-) .
