Well for all of you who are interested I tried everything to make the next read ibm floppies. I rebooted, formatted on a mac, formatted on an Ibm but nothing works. It just will not recognize anything. I guess I just erased a file or something. Beats me. I have another problem. How do I save a postscript file to disk so I can print it later to a laserwriter. (old old laserwriter.) I have tried using just save in the print dialog, save as in preview. I think the problem is I need to save it in eps rather than ps format. I was told that would print. Any suggestions?

If your floppy is a 720K (no extra hole), and you're formatting it as a 1.44 floppy on an IBM, then the NeXT won't recognize it. Most IBM- compatible drives don't sense the floppy type by looking for the hole. NeXT's drive does. -- -- John Coppinger "You'll find that your left cuff link -- -- University of Kentucky will be communicating with your right -- -- johnc@s.ms.uky.edu cuff link via satellite" -- -- johnc@graphlab.cc.uky.edu [NeXT] -- Nicholas Negroponte --

Does anyone know what files the workspace uses to recognize IBM floppies. If someone could send me a list of possible files maybe I can compare them to mine or see if I have them all.
