Hi all;

my dad has an emac running 0s x 10.3.8

he also has a powermac 550/225.

he wants to use diskettes (!) on teh new emac, so i
bought a lacie usb diskette drive.

problem.

the new drive and emac will only recognise ibm
formatted diskettes which he has acquired from other
people (hes a retired academic) with mainly ms-word
documents on them.

there is no ethernet port on the powermac.

is there a solution ?

googling leads me to believe that the usb diskette
drives or os x itself will only recognise later
diskette formats and not 800k or dd diskettes.

ideas ?

damien
