I've tried transferring a Word file using a floppy disk to a PC running Windows 98. I used a disk that was formatted on the PC, put it into the 1400, and it shows up as a PC disk. Dragged the Word file to it. Ejected and put it into the PC's A drive. When I try to open it, the PC says the disk is not formatted and can't open it. I've tried formatting it with the 1400 as a DOS disk. Same story. Copying a file to the disk on the 1400 destroys the disk's ability to be read on a PC. Have tried it with several PCs, all with the same effect.
Then tried transferring a file to the same PC using a DOS disk from my desktop Mac 9600. No problem. So it appears to be a problem caused by the 1400. I'm running OS 8.6 on the PB 1400.
