For the IIGS, it'll work fine.  Just used Advanced Disk Utilities
(ADU) to format and/or partitioned the cartridges.

It'll also work fine in the IIe.  You just need to use 8-bit utilities.
However, the non-high speed Apple SCSI (ie. Rev. C SCSI)
does not like disks swapped on removable media under
ProDOS 8.  Therefore, always plug the cartridge into the drive
before booting the IIe and don't swap cartridges when the IIe
is booted up.
