  I'm looking for information regarding how well the New Apple Drives in the
new IIx, SE/30, & IIcx deal with the old formats.  Specifically the 400K &
800K disks.  If a disk is formatted 400/800K on new drives is there a good
chance of it being able to read by an older drive say in a Mac +.

  I haven't heard of any problems, but then again I haven't been looking.
Any information good/bad would be appreciated.

  My apologies if this subject has already been beaten to death and I missed
the discussion.
