I'venot had trouble with my preferred version:System 7.1 with System Update 3.0. Warning : printing to a Postscript file in System 6.0.8 hassometimes been observed to generate invalid Postscript.This problem may be fixed in later System versions. (AppleTalk is the protocols thatare used to talk over the LocalTalk network hardware.)Д®xportPS is aspecialized variation of ExportFl that saves a fewsteps when printing. The standard Mini vMac variationwithout LocalTalk emulation still tries to correctly emulate the serialport, with no LocalTalk network attached, which is sufficient forturning on AppleTalk. Choosing OK, which turns AppleTalk on, isalso fine.

Choosing Cancel is fine, whichleaves AppleTalk off. The print to file feature of thisdriver will work without AppleTalk. When selecting LaserWriter in the Chooser, you can ignorethe warning about requiring AppleTalk.

(The name of the file should endwith '.ps' to allow Preview to recognize it as PostScript.)Other operating systems may requireadditional software to print PostScript files. To transfer the resulting file to the hostcomputer you can use ExportFl.The Preview application in Macintosh OS X 10.4 or later can open andprint PostScript files. To print to a Postscript file, select LaserWriter in theChooser, then print from your application as normal, exceptthat in the print dialog, choose PostScript File as thedestination. You can then export this file to the hostcomputer, and print it from there. There is no direct support for printing, but you can use theability built into System 6.0.8 and later to print toa Postscript file.

So the only way to read such disks is to get an old Mac.A somewhat later Mac than the Mac Plus would be useful, one that canread 400/800k floppies, but has some options for talking to modernmachines, such as 1.4M floppies or ethernet.ДЄn alternative is to hire someone to do this for you. This a hardware problem, not solvable insoftware - they lack the variable speed motor of the old drives.I donвЂ™t know any reason why some company couldnвЂ™t now manufacturea floppy drive that reads the old disks, but IвЂ™m not aware ofanyone doing so. Modern machines canвЂ™t read the 400k and 800k floppy disksused by the Mac Plus. How can I read a floppy disk that was writtenon a Mac Plus? The recommended way to do thisis with the ImportFlutility. To use a program or other file with Mini vMac, youneed to get it into a disk image. How do I get my Macintosh programs and other filesinto Mini vMac? What doI do?ДЄsk on one of the various internet forums related to Mini vMac. I have a question that isnвЂ™t answered in this FAQ orin the documentation.
