If it’s a raw ISO image containing a HFS filesystem, the SE/30 at least should be able to cope with it. Not sure whether it’ll be able to boot from it though. I have no idea whether Toast can make HFS ISOs independently of the host OS. The SE/30 falls into the category of Macs which can deal with both 800K and 1.4M floppies; it has a SWIM chip and probably has an FDHD drive. It can therefore act as a bridge to your Plus. Really, the SE/30 is a Mac IIcx with the NuBus slots lopped off and a CRT installed instead. There is also one thing your Blue & White G3 is good for: acting as a bridge to your SE/30 (just not directly to your Plus). With a USB floppy drive, it’ll be able to write HFS-formatted 1.4M disks. Since it has built-in Ethernet and runs relatively recent versions of MacOS, you should be able to download files directly to it, instead of having to bridge yet again through your Mini. That should give you some relief, I think… - Jonathan Morton -- -- ----- You received this message because you are a member of the Vintage Macs group.
