I don't think people need 800k floppies. The only macs to come with
800k drives are the Plus, and early SE's, which don't have MMU's
anyways. So the only way someone would need an 800k floppy is if they
had SE's upgraded to SE/30's without the superdrive upgrade and they
wanted to urn MacBSD. Pretty miminal segment of the population if you
ask me..
