I will even make you some system disks.
A stock PC disk drive cannot format, read or write to an Apple 800K disk. That format disk uses Group Coded Recording (GCR) which allows for more space on the disk (800K vs 720). And a Mac Plus can ONLY read/write 400 or 800K GCR disks. You will need a Mac to create boot disks for a Plus. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting "I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway" --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Vintage Macs group.
