- I have a PLI floptical. This drive can read and write regular HD disks.
- But not DD disks. So far, I had no problem sharing HD disks with other
- drives. Only problem I had once is that the drive freezed when I
- dragged the disk icon to trash and I had to reboot the Mac. And
- only complain about this is a bit slower than I expected. Otherwise,
- this drive is usefull for back up as well as for extra strage. Good luck!
