- I am trying to get ShapeShifter up and running, but I only have a
- standard 880k Amiga floppy drive. From what I understand, there is no
- way to read a real 800k Mac disk in it, and therefore there is no way to
- initially start up ShapeShifter to do anything.
-
- System 7.0.1 is freely downloadable on Apples ftp site, so there is no
- legal problem with this. I even checked to see what size it was, and the
- compressed file for one disk was more than a meg, so I know there is no
- way to load it from an 800k drive even if I had hardware to use one.
-
- What I need is a FileDisk with a minimum System 7.0.1 with software to
- access 720k disks. This is also important because even with a bootable
- FileDisk, I still need to be able to transfer information with 720k
- disks, as there is no other way to get info to the Mac side.
-
- Help is greatly appreciated,
- :=Rob=:
