Hey guys,

I have a Macintosh 512k machine and a 3.5 Floppy Drive (from my Apple IIgs items). I read that this Mac has a 400K floppy drive built-in, and that the external drive I have can read 800K disks. So I downloaded a System 4.2 disk with Finder 6.0 - made the disk image of that onto an 800K floppy using my Macintosh IIci and put it in the Mac 512k.

The Mac 512k turns to a Happy Mac before switching to a sad Mac (with the code F0064) and ejecting the floppy. This happens when using either disk drive. Any ideas? 8-o

Note: I also tried a System 3.2 / Finder 5.3 disk with the same result.

Any help would be awesome, thanks!
