Floppy drive on macOS sierra

Posted by: slomacuser on 2016-12-29 13:47:15 I can confirm it works! Transfering files from modern to old looks like it can be done for just $10. It didn't work on OS X 10.4 and G5.

Posted by: Anonymous Freak on 2016-12-30 01:45:07 Huh - I've been able to use a standard USB floppy with 1.4M disks in every version of OS X going back to 10.1 on a beige G3 with a USB card. Right now, my USB floppy is connected to my 10.4 running G4 Cube.

Posted by: Cory5412 on 2016-12-30 12:33:09 I'll need to look at this again. If only for the Mavica. I have an LS-120 drive somewhere that, if it worked, would be great for use with the Mavica and moving quicktake pictures. Will Sierra actually write to normal HFS on a floppy or are you using FAT/PC format?
