Hallo,

I'm trying to get Cubase loaded up on a Macintosh Classic which is in my possession - it's going to be used for writing MIDI sequences to trigger events in Max/MSP which I'll be running on my PowerBook (G4, sorry :) ) - much cooler to be on stage with a Mac Classic than a plain-jane MacBook I figured!

Anyway, I'm having trouble with the floppy drive - every disk I have made it says "this disk is unreadable" and offers to format (initialize).

The only computers I have access to with floppy drives are PCs (and lots of 'em, I'm a PC repairman when I'm not studying), and what I want to get accomplished is creating a set of disks which are readable by this machine. I would like to format the internal 40mb hard drive, install System 7 (currently running 6) and get Cubase loaded. I've already got an ADB MIDI box.

Any help guys? Would be much appreciated. I'm only OS X literate, I'm afraid!
