Well now.  After all this hulabaloo I looked a bit closer.  Earlier I slammed 
a disk in and looked.  It was a disk I have earlier formated on a regular 3.5 
on a GS and had some CMS SCSI drivers and SW on it. Well I had  Sharing off on 
the Power Tower so I slammed that puppy in.  I could see it on the desktop 
with the II symbol and pulling it up saw a CMS file.  I never took it beyond 
that.  So...I just tonite did the same only this time I tried to actualy copy 
a file to the hard drive on the Mac (clone);  Awful noise from the Imation and 
I/O error was the result.  It don't like it. So I tried several more disks.  
Results: It Sees: 1.4 HFS, 1.4 ProDOS, 1.4 PC, 800k HFS, 800k ProDOS, 720K PC 
 (and does not see 400k MFS..I tried one ;), and can read from: All the above 
mentioned except 800K ProDOS.  Oh: and it doesn't like Atari or Commodore 
(1581) format.  I like to be compleat..
