A solution has already been posted (adding the .out

wondering if the problem above was trying to access the Superdrive with an
application running in Classic.
My (perhaps mistaken) impression was you'd need to actually boot up in OS 9
(not X/Classic) in order to run a pre-OS X app. and have it interface with any
sort of drive (other than the HD) or peripheral hardware. (Note the Pwrbook
running OS 9 worked fine.)
You're quite right - sorry if I didn't explain properly.
My main Mac is a G5 which does not boot in OS9.
The powerbook is a little elderly chap which does.
One also needs an extension in OS9 called <USB floppy enabler>,
without which the Roland disks don't work at all. The floppies have
to be pre-formatted on the Roland in oreder to write TO them (in the
case of writing disk images to floppy).
