Emax

Maybe I'm missing something, but doesn't the G3 have a floppy disk drive, and if not can't one be added?


*Disclaimer I have never had a mac for daily use until my OS X 10.5 (which I'm writing this on now) which is basically a really nice version of the nix kernel & all the innovations that Microsoft and Apple have brought to Xerox's Alto, and as such my hardware knowledge on the old macs is limited*

I don't have access to 7.5, I'm running 7.0 and I don't have a way to get the file(s) onto the MACSE unless they are on floppies (IOMEGA Extensions, or Alchemy or Sound Designer). The only way I can get a file or a program onto the SE is via the floppy drive.  The SE will not mount the zip drive.

I appreciate your advice, but I don't think it will work in my case.  Bummed, seriously bummed...so close yet so far...
