Hi

I have a Mac Plus with no Hard drive. I don't have any 800kb disks too... So how can I make this little heating machine to work with only a PC with standard 1.44 disks at hand? Do I absolutely need to find 800kb disks?
thanks

Hehe. What he said ;)

And the short answer is yes, you need 800K disks. Which PCs won't be able to write.

Yeah, if you have pockets lined with gold dust. Sun Remarketing charges about five times what they ought to on everything.
