iMags Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Hey!. I'm so exited over my new Mac Plus! I'm having quite a few problems though.. How can I read/write 800K floppy disks from another Mac? I bought an external USB floppy drive and I've tried with Linux and with Windows, but it doesn't work. I've heard that a 1400K-floppy-drive is not able to read/write a 800K floppy disk... So how can I transfer some files over there? It has an external harddrive, the Apple Macintosh Hard Disk 20SC. Will an SCSI adapter work with this harddrive to transfer files from my (also new) Mac Pro? ...or what about an ethernet adapter? Help me! I need to install some cool and old apps!

At first, my congratulations! You made a nice choice!!! Tell me, do you use Bootcamp? Maybe you'll try to run Windows in the same time with mac? Better then Bootcamp! DO you know something about it?

It's a classic computer, not a new Mac. Boot Camp is for Intel Macs. Alternatively, Parallels Desktop or VMWare Fusion let you run windows at the same time as Mac OS. It's great.

Synaesthesia Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 OK, well whatever... Looks like a lovely machine, according to this site: Care for a Mac Plus. It's completely silent and it features a silent keyboard! I found this, hope it helps. What Can I Do With a Mac Plus, SE, or Classic?
