Re: Disk Images of All Apple Disks

[olcott <olcott@qwest.net>]

I think that I can move all the data that I need to
through drives. I  want to ultimately archive all of
this on an MSDOS/Windows based CDR drive.
Can either a 1.44 mb or 800k floppy be formatted
with Apple Dos 3.3, 3.2, and 3.1? I am guessing
that it will work at least on a Apple II GS with the
800k drive.
