[iBook] Floppy Question...

[Valerie Maples]

Except many of the external floppy drives  (like Iomega) will not read the
Mac 800 disks, although they read the PC 720's.  I learned the hard way!
:-(

If someone knows an external that reads Mac 800's, let me know; I have some
games I would love to play.
