[Duo2400] OT: 800K floppies

Marcelus,
I don't think you can "convert" a 1.4mb floppy into a 800k. There are some
media differences. The heads of a 800k floppy drive are not strong enough
to write on a 1.4mb disk. After some time, the data you stored on the
floppy disk will just vanish. It happened to me once, and I heard several
people saying the same thing.
Just buy a 720k floppy disk for PCs. It will format at 800k on the Mac.
It's the same disk.

Hope this helps,
Lucas
