Hi all, first post, apologies if its a bit noddy. I've had a look around the forums but haven't quite found the information I need but I think I can infer the answer, but here goes!
I'm in the process of acquiring a SE - the HDD works but I'm not sure about the floppy, so I'm sending the seller a DSDD floppy for him to try and format and to leave in the drive when shipping. This got me thinking how am I going to transfer disk images etc to the SE - I had hoped to be able to use OmniFlop to create usable disk images so I could transfer from my XP machine to the SE but of course Omniflop can't format Apple Mac 800k disks.
I suspect my only option, other than installing something like a SCSISD2 drive is to get another more recent Mac, one that can connect to the internet and has a superdrive that can also write DSDD disks? If so what's the best Mac to get OR is there another option I haven't considered? At this point I'm looking for easy options - thanks!
