Honestly, one of my intentions was to be able to install dinopark tycoon on my macintosh LC. I only have the CD version of it and not the floppy. My second reason for getting one would be to back up the OS on to the CD so if at any time the floppies (for compact macs not the LC) didnt work, I could just create another floppy disk from the information burned on the CD. I know you can download the old OS versions on the internet, but since none of my 68k macs have ethernet ports, it proves a challenge to be able to create a floppy disk on a modern mac that would be compatible with 68k macs. I know there are some software out there that are able to get around this loop, but they seem to not always have a 100% success rate or so I've been told by others.
But that really is amazing how you can hook up an external CD drive to a mac from 1977 and have it read the disk!!!!!!
