I don't know about DiskDup+, but I thought you could do it with 7.5 on 
a 680x0 Mac. After all by the time the PPC Macs came out, ProDos was
long "gone".

I don't remember, but I thought that if you put in a blank 800k floppy
or selected erase disk from the special menu, it was an option.

When it stopped being an option is another question. I think it was in
System 7 through 7.5, but i may be wrong.


It's been a long time since I've touched this, but AFAIK, the 800k ProDos
disks used the same encoding as 800k Mac disks, and diskcopy 4.2 
will read and write them.
