The Apple/Mac floppy disk drives were very different pieces of hardware
from PC floppy drives, even though they used the same physical media.
Superformat uses PC-specific hardware features. I'd be very surprised
if you could get it to work with a Mac floppy drive.
Bottom line is that the OldWorld Mac install floppies are hard limited
at the 1440KB size, and there is no way 'round it.

Salut,
Comme les derniere images floppy pour powerpc "don't fit" in a normal
1440 floppy,
- et comme c'est la seul metode que j'outilise pour instaler mes
oldword - 3x -
je me pose la question si on peux pas "superformate" ces disquettes a
la mulinux.
Par exemple
superformat -s21 -t83 /dev/fd0 # making a 1743K disk
dd if=mulinux.img of=/dev/fd0
superformat -s21 -t82 /dev/fd0 # making a 1722K disk
dd if=mulinux.img of=/dev/fd0

Merci pour votre attention.
