There is no official fix to the problem from Apple. The inability to
work with ProDOS floppies persists right through to OS 9.1. Older Macs
using 400K MFS disks are totally unsupported and 800K HFS system disks
become unbootable. I just avoid using old floppies with Macs running
anything after System 7.6.
