Hi all, I am not sure where this is meant to go so I will also be adding it into another section, but I am needing to know very soon whether or not a powerbook 170 floppy disk drive, will be able to read and install software from 800 kb floppy diskettes? I have found a listing on ebay for some office programs and maybe even some os related floppy disks, but I need to know if the 800 kb one in the lot will work with my PB170 or not. I and almost certian that the 1.44 mb floppy diskettes will work in the drive.

Please any help would be greatly appreciated, as I need to know this soon. And before any goes suggesting that I go and try researching it, why do you think I am on here asking for help?! I have spent all morning (about 3 straight hours) scouring the internet for this information and found nothing. I trust me when I say that I wouldn't be coming here and annoying you all with this question if I hadn't already thoroughly tried to find the answer myself.

The PowerBook 170 is fully compatible with both 800K and 1.44MB floppy disks. (y)

Closing thread, this is already in the proper place under Powerbooks and isn't a software related question. It's hardware related.
