When I was hacking around making disks for my Lisa (400K) I started off with
a 1.44 floppy in a PC which I used HFVExplorer to copy the disk images onto,
then moved the disk to a Mac IIcx which could read 1.44 but not (for some
reason) write 400K, so I had to appletalk the images over to a Mac Plus THEN
diskcopy 4.2 'em onto a 400K floppy. Painful and slow, but it worked. These
days making 800K disks isn't an issue 'cos I've got more old Macs than I
know what to do with and a beige G3 on the LAN.
cheers
