At home I use a Mac Plus with a MacConnection 20Meg drive manufactured by Rodime. A few days ago I wanted to use the drive and its data at work for a demonstration we were giving, on a standard Mac II. The dreaded "Disk Unreadable -- Initialize?" dialog appeared, with the correct icon for my drive. As far as I can tell from the manuals for the drive, the installer is specific to the Mac Plus, meaning that the interleave for the drive is probably 1:3. I had been under the impression that while 1:1 drives were too quick for a Plus, slower interleaves were usable but less than optimal for the II. This appears not to be the case. Is there any way that the same hard drive could be used both on a Plus and a II without reformatting? Thanks in advance for your advice.
