I read on the internet the "how-to" for creating a 1.4 meg external drive,
similar to the one that I bought for the i(maginary)Mac. The carton of my
drive listed 800K ProDOS as the only system that it couldn't write. I've
placed an 800K disk in the drive and it's given me the option to format it as a
720K IBM disk.
Could the reason that the 800K ProDOS disk is not an available option be the
hardware of the 1.4 IBM/MAC compatible drives (afterall, it didn't give me the
option to format the disk as an 800K Mac disk) and not a software problem?
Could an 800K Mac or Apple II drive/SuperDrive be used with an adapter for USB
or rewire the drive as is already done with these external drives?
