- I recently purchased a Novy ImagePro from MacProducts,
- the one they call the "Railgun," and have installed
- it on my SE FDHD. I love the speed and the 19" display
- it gives me, but it does seem to have one bug. My
- Superdrive seems unwilling to recognize about 50% of
- 800k floppies I insert while it is in 68030 mode. If I
- go to 68000 mode, it recognizes these disks just fine....
- I have reinstalled my System, the Systech software,
- System 7 Tune-up, rebuilt the desktop, zapped the PRAM,
- checked for conflicts from all my INITs and my CDEVs,
- opened up my Mac and checked the cabling, and none of
- this has made this damned thing read disks. It won't even
- read these 800k disks from an EXTERNAL floppy drive.
-
- Has anyone had these problems? Does anyone have a solution?
- If not, at least consider this a warning to potential buyers.
-
- FYI I am running system 7.01, Tuneup 1.1.1, Systech software 2.5
- and their 7 patch. Is there a newer Systech INIT and CDEV?
-
- Other than this one problem, I have been satisfied with
- the board's performance. But I have a hard time with not being
- able to format or read 800k floppies.
