Ok I have a question.  I am considering buying the zip drive with the
adapter for the IIgs.  I am planning on using it also on my Beamer which
is connected to WWW et al.  Can I download into the prodos formatted
disk all the crap I can get off the internet ?  WIll it read it and/or
what else will I need.  SO far none of the downloaded files are readable
on my beamer soooooooooo.........

thanks
