But yes, Disk Copy 4.2 running on System 6.0.x can read/write/format both 400K MFS and 800K HFS disks with no problem. I don't think it will let you format an MFS disk as 800K, but it can read such a disk just fine. To do that I think you need the above configuration. But I could be wrong about that. I don't think it's a limitation of the system--I think it's a limitation of the Disk Copy application.
Duh. Formating disks is of course a function of the system, and System 6 only allows you to choose between "single-sided" and "double-sided" when you format a 2DD disk. It assumes you want HFS for the double-sided format. I suspect earlier systems make the same assumption, but I'm not sure.
So please ignore the last sentence in the quote above ...
