[DuoList] 2300c Hard Drive Woes

[Keegan van der Laag]

Unfortunately, I don't have access to a SCSI CD-ROM drive. I DO have an 
SE/30 with an Ethernet card, and a Power Macintosh 7600 (I think - maybe 
a 7200) running either 8.6 or 9. I'll go see if I can't find that 8.1 
floppy and give it a shot.

Dean, HFS should be okay on the Duo, I would think - the "Mac OS 
Extended" format is HFS+, which is (essentially) what OS X uses for a 
filesystem. HFS was in use for system 7/8, I'm sure of it.
