I can't really help with getting your Mac to make working IIgs disks
for you but as you are wanting to program in BASIC, I would like to
make sure you know about the existence of GSoft BASIC from the Byte
Works and the Learn to Program in GSoft BASIC course/book that will be
starting on the Delphi online service on March 8th.

You have to buy the course book from the Byte Works but you have the
choice of using the free version of GSoft BASIC or buying the
commercial version.  You can also get a free web based account on
Delphi if you want to participate in the weekly chats where discussion
about the course and questions and answers can take place.

If you want more information about these things, e-mail me (don't
