Hi Louis, use System 6.0.1 on the IIGS and ADU to format an *HFS*
Zip disk.  In order for this Zip disk to work on a Mac, you need a utility
called GenEx to put the internal ADU Mac driver on the Zip disk.

Once this is done, use *HFS* disks to copy between GS and Mac.

That will solve your problems.  The Mac does not treat ProDOS Zip
volumes properly so your IIGS will have problems with one touched
by a Mac.

If you need the GenEx utility, let me know and I'll provide a URL for
you.
