Floppy Drives

The NewWorld architecture supports Macintosh computers with or without floppy drives. Apple does not support floppy-based copy protection on Macintosh computers that do not have Apple floppy drives. Providing functionality similar to the Apple floppy driver is the responsibility of the developer of the software for mass storage devices that can read and/or write floppy diskettes. The most expedient way to provide such functionality is to take over the Apple floppy driver slot in the drive queue.
