Re: Executor and 800K floppies



you might as well forget about 800K floppies, they are physically, low-level,
impossible to read by the floppy controllers of non-mac computers. Your best
and only option is to read them on a Mac and then rewrite them on a 1,44K floppy.

Sorry about that, it's a consequence of Steve Wozniak's genius. Apple didn't want to
buy a floppy controller so he hacked his own, and it integrated in the Mac as the
Super Wozniak Integrated Machine chip (SWIM). Everyone else used standard industy
drives and chips...
