Running old systems? Yes, I have a couple of them... I used several 800k
floppys on a Plus. I formatted them on a newer mac as 800k, with the tape
on the extra hole... And, the plus had some problems with it. It would
read/write ok, but if let the floppy sit for a while, 2 weeks or so, the
data on the disk would became corrupted. I thought the problem was with the
floppy drive. Got a new one, same problem...
The explanation to why the Plus had problems handling the 1.4mb floppy with
the tape, was found here:
