0.96j did load on OS X 10.2.1.
After boot, inserted known good OS 9 floppy, and the
disk mounted after 3-4 minutes (really slow), and was
readable. Then took 60-70 seconds to eject disk.
Upon reinserting the same disk, or another disk (after
success on first pass as above after reboot), no mount
occurs. Alert window appears with text:
"You have inserted a disk containing no volumes that
Mac OS X can read. To use the unreadable volumes,
click Initialize. To continue with the disk inserted,
click Ignor."
Three buttons available: Ignore/Initialize.../Eject.
Can replicate above behavior with restart. First
attempt at floppy use is successful, but after eject,
subsequent attempts give the alert window above.
-----
Erase disk/initialize does not work. Goes to Disk
Utility and hangs it, only way out is Force Quit. The
disk I tried to erase is still readable in OS 9, so
nothing happened to it.
