- An alternative here would be to find one of the inexpensive real 800K
- Apple/Mac floppy drives and an old A-MaxII cartridge. ShapeShifter will
- use this drive without any special software as long as the cartridge is
- connected to the Amiga floppy drive port. After upgrading to ShapeShifter
- from A-MaxII, I decided to keep my cartridge and Mac drive for just this
- reason.
-
- I recently saw someone advertising some 800K Mac drives in
- comp.sys.amiga.marketplace for something like $20 each (I think).
