[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 881908, member: 8287"] The Mac Plus does not read 1.44MB floppies at all. They have to be 800K. CWA, I have not tried it in a long time now but I have a perfect working Plus and I remember that a 1.44MB disc would not even work in it no matter what I did. I will try one later and get back but I am pretty sure they just did not work. The drive in my Plus will read/write/boot from any 800K floppy and is in perfect alignment. Strange I know but I ran into it a lot with old systems. Also pigoo3 us correct. The Mac Plus has no hard drive and without a boot floppy for System 3-7 it's doing what it should be doing. My first Plus I got used ages ago came with System 6.0.1 on Floppies. [/QUOTE]
