Re: Using older PowerMac to read/write ProDOS diskettes??

[bill malcolm <wm65805@alltel.net>]

NOTE :
I have a 5200 PPC OS 8.0
I make Prodos disks all the time and works fine.
I use  diskcopy 6.0.x mostly , but dart is ok for 800k disks and diskcopy
4.2 also.
Mostly diskcopy before 6.0.x can not create 1.44 disks .
