What Floppy Drive can I use with Mountain Lion to read and write floppy which can be read by SE30 with 7.1
I want to File Exchange between an iMac with 10.8.4 and a SE30 with 7.1.
All I want to do is install some software, such as Word 5.1 and a Chess game and some Fonts.
I have an external USB Floppy Drive but my iMac can only write to it IF I format as FAT, if I format it with the SE30 it can only be read and not written onto by the iMac.
Is there a way I can actually format/read/write Macintosh extended (HFS+) with Mountain Lion?
The external USB Floppy is a generic black one I bought from Amazon last week.
Someone else said I should get a Macally USB Floppy Drive and that reads/writes HFS+ etc with 10.8 no problem.
Is this because the Macally was released along with the Bondi Blue iMac?
I have tried using Apple Exchange on my SE30 - recorded some files onto the FAT formatted Floppy, and read it using Apple Exchange, but when 'translating' the Files transferred over as generic files which were no longer Macintosh programs or Files (eg Word 5.1 application or extensions/ Font suitcases etc) and could not be read.
Is there a way round this?
Or is there any way I can mount/read/write from the generic USB Floppy DRIVE with Sheepshaver (with 7.5.3)?
Any help or advice would be most appreciated.
Macintosh SE30-OTHER, Mac OS 8.6 or Earlier, SE30 with System 7.5.3
