Hi,
  For the Software on the IIgs Side to make disk images from disks
would be Image Maker, Asimov, or Dsk2 or somethink like the last one.
This should make a disk image. But you can not play the disk image on
the IIgs. These disk images are meant to be used on Emulators. Now if
you want to take a disk image and convert it back to a disk, Then you
would need Asimov.
  I have not played with disk images of the 3.5 disks. When I did they
seemed like they were 814k. Another problem I see right of the bat is
your lack of memory or ram.  512k and the use of 800k disk you are
asking for problems. ZZcopy or Photonix will not be able to work to
copy anything.

BTW I sent you an Email.

Take Care,
