[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 881947, member: 8287"] Tried a brand new 1.44 and erase failed. Here are some pics. First showing failure of format, 2nd the System 7.0.1 About This Mac screen and 3rd the Mac Plus and it's 20MB Apple Hard Drive! :D The black bar in the first pic happens when taking pics of old CRT monitors. It's the Vertical Retrace that the eye does not see that the camera catches! :D I also tried many 800K Floppies and all read, wrote and erased perfectly. Check Ebay for a older System floppy for your Mac Plus.
