1) 2DD 800KB Mac format diskettes are not supported.
2) ProDos (Apple-II) format is not supported. Do not select this menu on the initialize
dialog box.
3) There is no function for Auto-Eject. The floppy diskette must be ejected manually.
4) You cannot start up the Macintosh from the USB FDD.
5) This driver is designed only for use with this USB FDD. It cannot be used for other
USB-FDD devices.
6) Some application programs use more than one installation floppy diskette.
Application installers sometimes require the use of the auto-eject feature to switch
diskettes. In such cases, the diskette change mechanisms will not work with the
USB FDD.
7) Floppy diskettes formatted manually to avoid illegal duplication cannot be installed.
Some CD-ROM software may have these types of floppy diskettes.
