Hello!
I want to create floppy disks to install an old 68K-Mac. Because my NeXTstation (OpenStep 4.2) is the only computer with floppy-drive and network, I tried it there. I already found image files for the Mac on the internet and I found an article about creating a floppy disk from an image file:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA45687?viewlocale=en_USThe article is about creating a boot floppy for OpenStep, but it also works for 1,4 MB Mac images. But some of the Mac software is on 800 K images. Is there a way to create 800K Mac floppy disks on a NeXT? It seems, that I can format a HD floppy for Mac but not a DD floppy?

You can't do that without an original Mac drive unfortunately. Original Macs had a modified floppy drive that could write more sectors than the basic 720kb PC floppy drives, at the price of making the floppies unreadable without that hardware.
