Re: Sample Editors on MAC SE Compatible Floppies?

2009-07-10 by John

I don't have access to 7.5, I'm running 7.0 and I don't have a way to get the file(s) onto the MACSE unless they are on floppies (IOMEGA Extensions, or Alchemy or Sound Designer). The only way I can get a file or a program onto the SE is via the floppy drive.  The SE will not mount the zip drive.

I appreciate your advice, but I don't think it will work in my case.  Bummed, seriously bummed...so close yet so far...
