It is strange, but I've been having trouble reading DD floppy disks that were formatted on a real MAC High Density drive under System 7. If I take the disk transfer it to a macintosh hard drive, connect my 800K Cutting Edge drive to the mac reformat the disk and then redrag onto it the files I have no problems reading the disk. In fact, a friend with a MAC II that has a DD drive before the "SuperDrive" was used has the same problem. So I don't think it is AMAX for me that is the problem. I've heard of others having trouble with their MACS and 800K formatted disks in the superdrive.
