Re: Help making apple IIgs bootdisk

[drummerkidd420@my-deja.com]

The mac Classic II has system 7.0 on it, it can't format prodos disks,
yes,
the 800k disk image made it to the classic II just fine, when i open it
using disk copy 4.2 and try to "burn" it to a disk (the external 800k
3.5) I
get that stupid error.  I dont have low density disks, but if i format
one
in that drive, it lets me read it in my mac plus (800k drive).  Do i
need
these low density disks? where do i find them?
