A student here formatted a High Density disk to use in an old SE...
She had her resume on it, and my boss wanted me to print it out
for her. I (not knowing the situation) popped it into my IIcx,
and the machine wanted to initialize it... I thought it might
be a DOS disk, and AFE couldn't recognize it either. (Neither
could 2 dos machines...) ??
Told my boss. sorry, no can do...
He came up later, with the student, and she explained that she
was using an se...
So I thought...Hmmmmmm... Maybe our MacPlus could recognize it...

Sure enough, it did... HOW EMBARRASING! (probably spelled it wrong)

Will this be fixed in a future Sysyetm Software release? APPLE??

It seems the drive in the IIcx should have been able to recognize it.
That drive should be able to recognize ANY mac disk...

How about it Apple Folks! ?
