I do not think it is the disk drive that is the problem, most floppy drives will read 800K disks. Most likley due to their age, the disk was corrupt.
No, in fact MOST floppy drives will NOT read 800K disks. Absolutely NO PC based floppy drive will read them (and that is MOST of the floppy drivesd in the world) and from what I understand, most pwermacs nowadays won't do so either. I verified this on a G3 today - BRAND NEW 800K disk, reads fine in my Mac IIcx, and my quadra 605, and my apple iigs, but NOT in my g3.
