No problems here...but then the Mac that gets pressed into use to write
disks for my IIs is a Quadra 610 running 7.5.3.  (I think the only
ProDOS-formatted HD floppy I've ever created on it was a System 6.0.1 boot
floppy with SCSI and CD-ROM support so I could make a bootable System 6.0.1
CD-ROM...my IIGS doesn't read HD floppies, but I told the installer to write
to a shared directory on the Mac and copied the contents of that directory
to a floppy.)

I also have a beige G3 running 10.2.6, but (1) the floppy drives in PPC
systems sometimes have trouble writing DD floppies (supposedly there's some
software to work around that) and (2) the floppy drive doesn't work at all
under Mac OS X anyway.
