[DuoList] Duo 280 Compatibility-HFS+

Wed Sep 22 13:56:40 PDT 2004

(I hate to reply on top like this but I'm using a terrible web based mail
interface from work.)

A 280 running OS 8.1 should be able to access any HFS+ volume.

I suspect that there is another problem with the disk, perhaps he burned it
as an ISO 9660?

I don't know if this will help, being a novice Mac
user, but once someone referred me to a disktools file
that could access HFS+. I don't know if that software
will work with a CD. Here is his comment:

If that would help his situation, your friend in
Germany could download the file.

I had made a CD with a lot of info on it that I needed
during my stay here- I've done this before, and it
worked out OK- it's a good way to transport data. 

However, I can't read the disk at all- CD-Toolkit says
the drive is there, and I can read other CD's, but not
the one I need. 

I realized in the middle of the night that I had made
the CD in HFS Plus- and that the installed OS 8.1
reads only HFS. 

Do you happen to know the first OS that would read HFS
Plus? And if the 280 will accept it? It may be that
OS 8.5 will handle HFS +, I think it will. 
Whether the 280 will accept 8.5, I don't know. 

If you're still active with the Duo list afficianados
perhaps you can get an answer- I'd be most
appreciative.
