Re: help how to make prodos disk

["Sonny" <sonnykwong@pdq.net>]

It still doesn't work, i used the finder to erase disk and drag all files to
the erased disk.  Still get UNABLE TO LOAD PRODOS.  I think it is because
the disk is create on Powermac.   I got two people replies, they have no
problem create the disk if only if on 68 mac instead of powermac.   Hmmm....
so what is the problem
