I've put it away, but I believe it's running 7.6.1.  I have a boot disk for
my IIc+, and I used DiskCopy 6.3 to make an image from that boot floppy.
Then I formatted another disk ProDos 800K, and used DiskCopy again to place
the image onto the blank floppy.

This process worked fine on the SE/30, which runs 7.1.  I put the ProDos
extension from the IIe Card software package into the extensions folder so
that the SE/30 could work with ProDos disks.
I also tried formatting the floppy in the IIc+ before loading the image with
the 4400, no dice.
I also copied the known good image from the SE/30 to the 4400, and and then
onto a known good floppy, also no dice.

I should mention also that the IIc+ can not read the disk at all, it's more
that just "not bootable".

I'm pretty sure I've done this. I had 7.6.1 on a stock Color Classic which I
was using to make ProDos disk images for my IIgs.
Best to verify that, though.  That's one reason I wanted to post that info
right away before I had to worry about remembering the details correctly.
