Re: Macintosh freezes when copying files to ProDOS diskette

Has anyone experienced any problems copying files from a Mac to a 1.4

second copying begins.  It could be the high density disk, I haven't
tried with an 800k disk because I don't have any.

I've the same problem with OS 9 on a Beige G3, 7600 or 8600. I remember
that the 7600 wrote to ProDOS floppies when it had OS 7.6 but stopped
writing them with either OS 8 or 8.5.

I have a hybrid computer running OS9 that has no trouble writing to
ProDOS floppies. It's a Color Classic that I modified by replacing
the motherboard with one from a Performa 6320. It still has the
original auto-inject floppy drive.

I may be wrong but it sort of looks like a combination of hardware
and software creates the problem.
