Re: UniPlus UNIX: oops...

I have a copy of CopyIIMac (v4.3) and CopyIIHardDisk (v4.3) if they'd be of any help. They don't seem to work on 7.5.3 and probably need 6.x.

Hi Jeff, the 8600 should have a "superdrive" floppy mechanism, at least according to Apple it does.

It doesn't much matter what OS you run on this, whether it's 8.x or 6.x. As long as you can get a path from the 8600 to either the internet (fetch ftp client, etc.) or another machine, even a PC, you can use it to make disk images. Ideally if you have the ethernet AAUI plug for your 8600 and the appropriate TCP/IP software, you can either connect the 8600 to another machine via a crossover cable, or to your router, etc.
