Re: 800k floppy on a Mac Classic II to transfer files to IIgs

[magnusfalkirk <dean.phares@gmail.com>]

Which version of the Mac OS are you running on the Classic II? You
should be able to format an 800k Prodos disk in the internal drive, as
long as it is an 800k disk and not a 1.44MB disk that you are trying
to turn into an 800k disk. I'd try formatting an 800k Prodos disk in
the internal drive first as it's far easier to replace a disk, if it
won't format it in Prodos, than it is a drive if the machine were to
some how screw up the GS drive.
