read
-> the Mac floppies anymore. It is not the hardware, because if I connect an
-> external disk with system 3.0 to this station it suddenly c a n read Mac
-> floppies. Another computer with a system, which was upgraded from 2.1 to 3.0
-> with the CD rom doesn't recognize Mac flopies either and allows only to
-> initialize DOS and NeXT formatted floppies.
->
-> Does anyone know what's going on? Is there a switch I have to set in the
-> system?
->
just a guess:
check /usr/filesystems and make sure there is a mac.fs directory there.
