Re: High Density on GS

["Peter Watson" <paw77@NOhotmailSPAM.com>]

Wow, I haven't seen one of those (apart from mine!) in a long time.

The short answer is that it *should* work with GS/OS. The longer answer is
that
you'd have to try. There *may* be some of the same sorts of issues with
being
a "removable" drive that Zip drives have (depending on SCSI card and
drivers).

Since I had Apple's SuperDrive, I only ever tried mine once or twice to
prove that
it worked. There is one interesting quirk. I used it to create one of the
world's few
partitioned 3.5" floppies! As far as GS/OS is concerned, it's just a very
small, very
slow SCSI hard drive.

Re 1.6MB HFS floppies, I can't think why a 1.44MB drive should be able to
create
1.6MB floppies. You might be think of the Applied Engineering drive that was
a 1.6MB
drive to begin with.
