About 800Kb drives on old Macs:  A 128Kb Mac doesn't have the ROMs to
deal with 800Kb -- they have to be 400Kb drives.

A Mac 512 can't deal with them either.  A Mac 512E (for Extended) does
have the ROMs.

To whomever asked about theses drives to star with:  Drop me a line here
-- I read your post yesterday and my scroll back buffer as long since
gone beyond it.  I may be able to get you a 400Kb drive, probably
external.
