I recently received the entire Stone package from Adobe. Two of the boxes
contained a single 800K disk. One box contained two 400K disks, one with
screen fonts and the other with PS and AFM files. The 800K packages mixed
all the screen fonts into a single screen font file, the 400K package had
3 screen font files for the various flavors.
The point is, that even Adobe is recognizing that nobody much uses 400K disks
any more. I was given no option of 400K or 800K disks, it wasn't mentioned
when I ordered. I presume that I could, at need, call back Adobe and swap for
400K disks, but I'm not certain.
But seriously, who is going to be doing relatively sophisticated work such as
driving a LW and using purchased fonts, and still be using an old-ROM Mac?
