look gary..
ive enjoyed your input up untill this point.
I was given these disks by someone off the site here, I wanted to see if i could get them to work. its got nothing to do with torture.
and u are mistaken.. maybe i more carefully read the links that u posted then you did.. in fact i re-re-read them, and then i realized that the comment about the os version is about using 400K disks.. not 800k disks.. 400k Disks being read require os 7.5 or lower..
i updated my post to reflect that.. reread the page
http://www.siber-sonic.com/mac/newmillfloppy.html400k Floppies and Mac OS 8.0 or Later
So ya say ya gotta Mac with a built-in SuperDrive that is allegedly able to handle 400k, 800k, and 1.4 MB disks, and it does work with 800k DS and 1.4 MB HD disks, yet not with 400k SS disks? Well, you need more than the drive… you need the correct Mac software.
“Huh? Whut?”
this paragraph indicates that if u have a 400K disk + mac os 8 installed.. despite the fact that the drive is compatible with reading the disk.. the os will not allow you.. unless u are running mac os 7.5.5 or lower... from mac os 8 + up it will not read 400k disks........ this is what i was referring to.. and i answered my own question.
id like to thank u again for being polite + informative. u may not understand my quest with all ofthis.. and that sfine.. i dont expect u to.
i expect people to respond intelligently + helpfully or you can ignore what i have to say and ask just as easily
this is abstract + old deprecated information that is not easy to come by. have some respect for the board, myself, yourself by not turning this into some negative bullshit. if u have nothing beneficial + informative to say/ask.. do not bother responding its that simple
