Hi guys,
Very disappointed, I bought original OS Diskettes system 7.1 and 7.5, the 7.1 is the original Color Classic and not working, the 3.5 drive does not recognize it, 7.5 as well, the weird thing is, my Macintosh Classic works flawlessly with both systems.
What am I doing wrong? The drive is working well, it format and copy any file to the diskette.
Regards,
Gustavo
Quick check; is a floppy formatted in one Mac readable in the other?
Is the floppy drive a SuperDrive (1.44 MB capacity)? MacTracker says yes.
So both types of floppies should work (HD + DD).
Yes both are HD, works well in the classic but in the color as soon is in the unit ask for format. What should i do?

Try the formatting both ways, ie format the floppy in the Color and then try if the Classic can read it. If not the floppy drive might had it. You can try clean it and, if you feel up to it; I think there´s some How-Tos for dismantling floppy drive, check them and assemble them.
Hi, the floppy in the color works perfect, writes, format and read but cant read a cassic formatted floppy, I´ve tear down the color drive and this is what I found, the drive part number is:
Sony MP-F75W-31G
Not sure if this is the right model for the Color, any ideas?

Well I bought on Ebay a Sony MP-F75W-31G, they are refurbished do you think it will work with the color.
