Re: System disks for Apple //gs or Localtalk boot?

[Raj Wurttemberg <nospam@nospam.com>]

Jon,

I tried your suggestion... didn't work. :( I even dug up some *real*
DD 800K disks and tried it, still failed. I'm wondering if the Mac
7100 1.44MB floppy drive just can't make Apple // readable 800K disks.
Any other ideas?

Thanks,
-Raj
