- Uh, can you read floppies under DOS? 1.4M Mac disks work for me. If you
- can't read 1.4M disks then perhaps your drive is broken.
-
- Or do you mean 800K Mac floppies? If _that_'s what you mean, then Q1.13 in
- the FAQ comes right out and says you can't. If there is PC software out
- there that you know of that will let you, I'd be very interested in hearing
- about it, as I have a number of 800K Mac disks and I don't like having to
- copy them to 1.4M diskettes.
-
- 400K disks are probably not readable either; I imagine they have the same
- bizarre sectoring as the 800K, just single-sided.
-
- I honestly don't see what ARDI *could* do to resolve your problem. HD
- Mac disks work fine if you have a working floppy drive. Other formats are
- not supported.
