Re: Does it exist? Mac USB Floppy drive r/w 800k & ProDOS disks?

bernie won't see the drive. neither will diskcopy. ya can get around
diskcopy by x-fering the file to thew old mac, but the bernie issue
still stands - bernie is ppc only.

I want it for apple IIgs emulation. Bernie will emulate a IIgs and use
the internal drive - but the 8OOk floppies it makes can't be read in a
real sony autoinsert 800K gcr drive (like an old mac or apple iigs would
have)

:-(

having a usb 800k drive would make things just so much simpler.
Actually, BEST solution would be a usb to smartport box - hang whatever
smartport device off it ya want - even a unidisk 3.5. ;-)
