For two years, I regularly used the same 3.5" disk on my GS at home and
the PowerMacintoshes at my school with no problems. The Quadra 840av and
640av's didn't like my double density disks, however. Now I have a Mac
at home and have had no problems "sneakerneting" a disk from the Mac to
the GS, no matter which of the three OSs it is formatted for (ProDOS,
HFS, or MS-DOS).
