- Hello...
-
- I've read the other replies, and variable speed might work, but who
- knows. The reason Executor can't read 800K's is because when PC's only could
- cram 720K on a disk, they decided to physically write more tracks on the
- inside of the disk. So, pretty much nothing but another Mac can read it, I
- think.
