Take the tour ×  I'm trying to pass some files from a MacBook
Pro with Snow Leopard to an old LC 630 with an HD floppy drive
and a CD optical reader. As Snow Leopard cannot burn a CD with
the HFS (Mac OS Standard) file system I thought to use an
ancient LaCie USB floppy drive and an old floppy disk.  I could
read the floppy disk (of the 1,44 MB type) with the MacBook Pro.
However, when I entered into the LC 630 the computer complained
I should initialize it and the only options available where Mac,
DOS and ProDOS format with 720 kb or 800 kb of disk space. I
decided to initialize it with the Mac format.  Alas, now the
disk works with the LC 630 but there is no way to read it with
the MacBook Pro. It seems that it became one of those old DD
floppy disks with only 800 kb available and when I enter it into
the USB LaCie drive it just does nothing at all.  How it could
happen? The floppy hardware is of the HD type! Moreover, can you
suggest me a way to transfer some files (only roughly 700 kb of
stuff) to the LC
