Hi,
 I found that formatting the Zip on a Mac G4 with 10.5.8 formatting it
with only the Standard HFS (no OS 9.1 drivers).  All the other HFS
will not work on the IIgs. Even the HFS on the IIgs (patched) does not
play well on the Mac 10.5. But if you format it on the Mac it can be
used by bother machines. But I only moved disk images back and forth.
I did not image partitions. The extended journalled HFS and case
sensitive do not work on the IIgs. IIgs with Ramfast and HD and a Zip.

Take Care
