Re: Apple IIGS OS 6.01

["Clipper Ship" <clipper@upgrade.com>]

I have the 1MB RAM card installed and fully populated. When I insert the
diskette into the 3.5" drive and simultaneously press the
open-apple/control/big button in the right corner (using a Mac extended
keyboard) hitherto refered to as the three finger salute, the disk drive
whirrs and spins and the message CAN NOT LOAD PRODOS greets me. The
diskettes I am using were made using Disk Copy 4.2 on the Mac from Images
files I got from the Asimov web site. I pre formatted the diskettes on the
GS before I sneaker netted them to the Performa. The Mac said the Create
disk procedure worked just fine and I can read the diskettes on the Mac.
When I boot a ProDos 8 diskette on the IIgs the diskettes I made on the Mac
do not show up in filer as mounted volumes.

Thanks for any assistance
