I believe the HFS FST only supports up to 2 Gb.  Another possible solution is to pick up a SCSI cd-rom.  A cd-rom from an older Mac computer should be compatible.

Cider Press can read and write to an HFS.iso image.  You can download the cd image here, tranfer the files to the image and burn a cd on your PC for use on your IIGS.
