hi,
i am looking to exchange data between my mac os x and my mac plus,
if I buy a floppy that can read and write 2DD disks, can my plus then
read the disks written on the mac os x?
No.
OS X does not support DD/800k floppy disks. And the Plus does not
support 1.4MB floppies.
your best bet is to get a serial cable and connect the two machines via
AppleTalk.
If you must use floppy disks, you will need an intermediate machine
that can read/write both DD/800k floppies as well as as 1.4MB floppies.
