Nope, these are most certainly 800k SDK images, recognizable by ShrinkIt 3.4.

The problem ended up being Netscape's Cooking of the files...

Got them thru FTP, and now ShrinkIt 3.4 makes the disks perfectly...

So... now I have some 16-bit software, but no RAM to use it.

Got a 170mb FocusDrive and a 8 meg SiriusRAM card on order from
www.allelec.com. :)  I have now invested more money (including shipping costs)
in this Apple IIgs system than my last round of PC upgrades cost me.

Egads. :)

cheers,
