ShrinkIt doesn't recognize DSK as an image format.  Or atleast mine doesn't.
I found another version which is rather unconveniently in DSK format
itself...  :)

The Mac is a LC/575/500 running Mac OS 7.5.3 at the moment.

Yes.  I have been able to copy files over to an 800K ProDOS
disk and access it on the IIgs, just haven't gotten much further.

Workin on the Asimov as we speak...thanks for the tip on the 5.25, hadn't
tried it - yet.  I was tempted to hook the HDD from the IIgs up and see what
happened though.

Thanks,
