That's the fault of the drive.  I also have a 7500 and I can't make
copies of disks on my Mac that can be read by my GS.  People wanted
Apple to have cheaper floppies so Apple complied and they ended up
with something that wasn't really reliable for 800K disks.  And it
seems to be a hit and miss type of thing.  I have the exact same 
floppy drives in my PM7500 as I do in two Quadra 650's.  The Q650's
can read/write 800K disks that can be used on my IIGS, the PM7500
can't.  I'll have to look at swapping floppies around one day.

Your best source at this time for some software probably would be
snail mail.
