my macintosh classic (christend big blue after the code name for the G3 ) is running system 6 and its having trouble reading disks not just windows floppies but also 800 k macintosh floppies 1,44 floppies formatted under 7 and 9.1

is this a system 6 problem or is the floppy drive on its way out ?

if its just system 6 its all the more reason to get rid off it

I would try downloading a newer OS from Apple and testing it to see if that's the problem. If it still has trouble reading, I think you will know it is most likely a hardware problem.
