     Notice that you do not actually say that you have run the
downloaded images on an emulator. Just in case ...  the .dsk.gz image
files you normally find on disk image archive sites are in compressed
form. They need to be uncompressed using WinZIP or a similar utility on
your Mac or PC. This should give you true .dsk files which can be
transferred to your IIgs and converted to disk form.

     Also, on the IIgs, the target diskette for a .dsk --> diskette
conversion should, usually, be formatted for DOS 3.3.
