Subject: Old PowerMacs better?
It seems that if I try to run YDL 2.1 on the iMac I have problems with
incompatibilities with USB drives, whereas the old PowerMacs (601, 603, or
604 chips) such as the 7200, 7500, 8500, 8600, 9500, or 9600, to name the
most recent, are compatible with YDL. In other words, their floppy drives
are serial devices which can be addressed by YDL. I suspect that YDL was
designed for the old PowerMacs and works better with them.
