- Mark, I had the same problem when I purchased a PLI SUperFloppy a copuple
- of years back for my old Mac Plus. It was a ROM problem, which caused the
- drive not to realise that it could be the boot volume. I called PLI and
- mentioned this and the _very_ promptly sent out replacement ROMS via UPS.
- I had 'em in the drive within two days.
-
-
- This leads to my next question: Does anyone know if PLI has an upgrade
- path for their old SuperFloppies? I'd like to put a Floptical into the
- case, and it appears to be the came case PLI is using for the Flopitcal.
- Any clues would be helpful.
