Well, it's not that it can't read the ProDOS disks, just that I can't
seem to *copy* a ProDOS boot disk on a Mac (w/Disk Copy) without it
mangling the disk in some way. It's a ProDOS disk allright, but the copy
won't boot on the IIgs next to the 7500. I've
tried several utilities, but no go so far (sigh).

So, having no IIgs file management disks (Filer/Copiers), I can't make
copies, not even on the Mac. I dunno, Apple could've made Disk Copy so
that it at least made a proper 1:1 copy, not disks that become unusable.
