Right, but I doubt if 1.6M would work. Certainly the floppy drives were never used that way under MacOS, and MacOS users would be unable to burn floppy images. The utilities don't let you specify a size, just choose between 800k, 1.4M, or PC 1.4M formats. -- Debian GNU/Linux Operating System By the People, For the People Chris Tillman (a people instance) toff one at cox dot net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
