oh........ and tape over the 2nd hole.
This method does not work for a long time. When I got my Mac II (my first Mac with an 800k drive), I tried this method, and no less than 10 minutes later, the disk didn't work.
Do not use this method for backups or for any important data you may need. (You can try it - it won't hurt.)

I'm thinking that if you use an older os you take any floppy and format it.

Where does one find 400 and 800k floppies? I would be more than happy to copy this old software if I could find the disks. I have some good old stuff here.
