Re: MultiMegabyte floppy for the II?

It seems likely that a SuperDrive could read and write to
them, but I wonder whether they could be formatted as other
than FAT 12 floppies?

Even this would not be a stopper, since MUG should be able
to do the job.

I picked up one today and it apears to be a no go with the
Apple II. I tried it on the IIgs in a SuperDrive and it was
unable to read it. So I tried formatting it and I get
an error. So while it seemed unlikely I figured I'd try an
800k drive on the disk port, alas, no luck that way either.

Unfortunately it also doesn't work with a usb floppy drive connected
to a Mac. Requires a regular 1.44mb floppy drive and pre OSX OS.
