being able to do that.
Oh, okay, this is why it won't work. dd works with Unix/Linux, sure. But all things
only work with an internal floppy drive, for the reasons stated in
www.samplerzone.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=3251 The problem with Mac's is
not that it won't run dd, it's because no Mac's that run OSX have a
internal floppy drive (that is, a controller on the mobo or on a card slot).
Again, if you are into old gear, having an old computer around is the best way to provide
a gateway to them. Using your newer computers is putting a square peg in a round hole. For
me, I have a Pent 4 running XP SP3 with an internal floppy drive. Nice because I can use
several Windows floppy accesses, but if I have to get really down and dirty I just run DOS
7.0 and go to town.
