Andy, I had the same problem when I tried to read a Mac disk in my IIgs 
and what I found out was that the Mac was formatting the disks as High 
Density disks because I was using high density disks in the IIgs as 800K 
disks.  Make sure your disks from the Mac are not High Density.  If you 
format the disk as 800K it'll work just fine.
