| Floppy 1.44M and Macintosh 512k |

Hi everyone, I got a macintosh 512k and I want to use a floppy drive. I cannot get the 800k floppy, so can I use 1.44M instead of 800k? I know that the floppy will not use all the storage, but does someone know if it will work? |

Yes, a Sony autoinject 1.4 MB drive will work perfectly, but only read/write the 800ks. |

Just to clarify to me, the Sony auto inject is the original Macintosh 512k floppy drive? |

If yours is a 512ke that reads 800k disks normally, then yes. If it is a 512k that has only a 400k drive, then no. Do you have some photos so that we can see? |

Of course, this is my version. |

A shot of the rear with the model, and possibly internal pics would be the best. |

Sorry, my fault... Do you think that now we can discover? |

At this point it only says 512k, not 512ke.....if it had the e, it would be no doubt 800k. However, can't be sure with this. You'll have to open her up. |
