Can I network a floppy drive? What I have is a Performa 6400 running OS 9.1. It has an Ethernet card, and I can connect the internal hard drive to a less-old iMac through the router. But what I want is access to the Performa's internal floppy drive, because I have a lot of material on floppies and I might want access to it some day. I have opened the File Sharing control panel, and it allows network access to the hard drive, but the control panel does not show the floppy drive. I opened the Multi-User control panel. The only name is in there is mine as "owner." The "Help" menu says that by choosing options I can get access to a lower window where I can set "privileges" that might allow me access to the floppy drive. But that portion of the window is dimmed, and I can't get it to allow me access to the "privileges" tab.
I don't want to spend money for a new external floppy drive if I can get the present, paid-for equipment to work. Can I network an OS 9.1 internal floppy drive?
