Hello every1!! :D
OK, I posted something yesterday about my Mac Plus:

http://computing.net/mac/wwwboard/forum/10701.html

This is kinda different, because now I have a PowerBook 520c with a WORKING floppy drive...ok, I have an image of a Mac Plus boot floppy, and a bunch of PC-formatted 1.44M floppies... (I also have some 800K Mac-formatted ones but they're full of bad sectors...)
Is there any way to format these floppies as a 800K?? I know the Mac Plus can, but the PowerBook asks me for a double-sided floppy when trying to burn the image!! :(
So, is there??
Thanx!! ;)
