MacWord: 1.44-MB Floppy Disk Drive Required to Setup w/ Disks (122374)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Word for the Macintosh 6.0
- Microsoft Word for the Macintosh 6.0.1
This article was previously published under Q122374 SUMMARY
To install Word for the Macintosh using disks, you must have a 1.44-
megabyte (MB) floppy disk drive (Super Drive). You cannot install Word on a
Macintosh with only an 800-kilobyte (KB) floppy disk drive.
Once installed, however, Word does not require a 1.44-MB disk drive. As a
result, if your computer does not have a 1.44-MB disk drive but otherwise
meets the hardware requirements, you can install Word from a network
server.
MORE INFORMATION
The Macintosh II is the only computer with a 68020 processor that Apple
shipped without a 1.44-MB floppy disk drive. Other Macintosh computers that
do not have a 1.44-MB disk drive (such as the Macintosh 128K, 512K, 512Ke,
Plus, and SE) also do not have the 68020 processor required to run
Microsoft Word 6.0 or 6.0.1.
