I posted 3 weeks ago a question to the net concerning the question why my NeXT  
did not see the Mac floppies under system 3.0. I got several answers.

If you have a program installed which works with Mac floppies itself (like  
Floppy Works or Executor) then these programs disable the Mac floppy read  
capability under system 3.0. They have to do that, because otherwise the  
workspace mounts the floppy, before it is accessible to the program itself.If  
you have the same problem, check the /usr/filesystems.

Sorry for replying so late to the Net, but I had no access for the past weeks.
