Emax

My Beige G3 had a floppy. The B/W did not, but you could add USB  
floppy. I have a USB floppy and it works in Leopard- on my Mac Pro.

Maybe I'm missing something, but doesn't the G3 have a floppy disk  
drive, and if not can't one be added?

*Disclaimer I have never had a mac for daily use until my OS X 10.5  
(which I'm writing this on now) which is basically a really nice  
version of the nix kernel & all the innovations that Microsoft and  
Apple have brought to Xerox's Alto, and as such my hardware knowledge  
on the old macs is limited*

Subject: [emax] Re: Sample Editors on MAC SE Compatible Floppies?

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...
