Hi all,
I just got an Imation USB SuperDisk floppy drive for my OS 9.1 Rev. A 233 iMac.
I can see it fine in System Profiler, but I can't mount any media (1.44Mb floppies) from it. It injects and ejects disks fine, but nothing shows up on the screen. No choice to format, or anything. I have it plugged directly into the iMac's second USB port, plus the wall wart, so it shouldn't be a voltage problem.
Can this thing only work with 120 Mb Superdisks? I thought it was compatible with the 1.44Mb disks also.
I have one as well and they can be finicky. Yes, they will take big and small floppies....but OLD floppies won't work on the newer systems. Like you say, they just won't mount on the desktop. I had several games that played in OS 7-8 and once I moved up past OS9.0.4 they wouldn't work. I like to buy the older software and try it for fun, but if it is on floppy, lots doesn't work for me any more.
It may just be a malfunction anyway!
Michele
