- I have a NeXT cube with the 2.n level operating system and I'm unable to
- install a Peripheral Land floppy drive. The NeXT contains a 40 meg. swap
- HD, no optical drive and boots off a TP network. I tried various SCSI
- settings, that ain't the problem.
-
- Should I be able to install a floppy drive on such a system, or do floppy
- drive need special software or to be connected to a Mac with a HD or
- operating system local to it?
-
- Many thanks in advance for taking the time to consider this problem.
