As some of you know I picked up an SE (superdrive) over the weekend. It's a somewhat rare model, sporting 2 floppy drives AND a SCSI HD. I believe the SCSI drive has an aftermarket mount, but I haven't opened the thing up yet.
Anyway. The only way i have to transfer files from my iMac 2.4ghz to it is via floppy. I have a few disks, and I formatted one (mac OS standard) on my iMac. I then put it into the SE and it said it was unreadable. I then initialized it on the SE - and that failed.
Do these drives go bad? Should I try cleaning them out a bit?
