- They work fine in all macs after the 512Ke, which was the first to possess
- an 800K floppy. I have disks and software that are from 1988 (Sys 3.2)
- that still work. It's not a problem with this one so I plan to try it in
- Executor after I put the app (The Ancient Art of War at Sea Arrgghh
- Maties!) onto a High Density disk.
-
- if you cannot read the floppy on a mac it is because it's toast (the disk)
- not because that Mac cannot read it. I still always keep a box around for
- copying disk images onto when I get emailed software updates that are 800K
- floppy images.
