Apple IIe programs can read files from 3.5-inch floppy disks only if the
disks are formatted as ProDOS disks. You can format ProDOS floppy disks
by using the Apple IIe programs on the

System Utilities disk. See the

instructions that came with the

System Utilities disk for details.

If you have version 7 of system software, you can also format ProDOS
floppy disks in the Macintosh environment. Follow these steps:

1. Insert the disk you want to format.

If you see a message asking if you want to initialize the disk, skip
to step 4.

2. Click the disk’s icon once to select it.

The disk’s icon is highlighted.

3. Choose the Erase Disk command from the Special menu.

4. Type a name for the disk.
