i have found out that ProDOS disks are not readable by my gs when i write
them with my ppc (power computing 100, my 7600 is dead for now :'( [OT] anyone
have a CPU card they want to unload on the cheap? ;') while my quadra 800 writes
them just fine.... now that i have my gs booted on the hard disk i just
appletalk it
to my q800 (i have a 810meg drive in it just for apple // stuff) and transfer
anything i need that way... considering the cost of old mac (lc's can be bought
for almost nothing...) it maybe a better path instead of shelling out
$100-$200 for
a scsi card....
