Re: 800k vs 1.44k floppy drives

Hi,
  Using Ramfast which version?  How many partitions do you have on the desk
top at once?  You might have one corrupt file, driver or init in your GS/OS.
These are reall apple drives and not 3rd party right?  If the 5.25s work with
themselves and not with the 3.5s. Something is seems to be wrong in the system
or your 3.5s Did you try using it with out the Rmafast in place. Power down
before you do anything.
   Were you at the auctions last year when ProTect was having them in Flint
for all the school districts?
Take Care
