Re: 3.5 drive on IIe question

["Ernest" <ernestls@home.com>]

Also, I was given a 3.5 floppy, with a ProDos 8v1.4 format, and it contains
some SCSI setup utilities. I booted the Laser 128 with a ProDos 8v1.4
utilities disk, and tried to copy (some) of the files from the 3.5 disk to a
newly formatted 5.25 disk but the program gives me an error saying that I
need to copy the files to a ProDos formatted disk, even though the the
Utilities list it as a ProDos formatted disk in the List Volumes area. Both
the 3.5 and 5.25 were formatted using 8v1.4.

I don't get it? I'm only trying to copy individual files, not whole disks.
