Hi,
 Where were the zip disk formatted? I have found formatting them on
the Mac with the Standard HFS. (No OS 9.1drivers ) works the best.
Using a Mac G4 with 10.5.8.  I can transfer the zip carts between the
II machines. The mac does not seem to like the Zips formatted on the
IIgs. 2 different finders. But only the Standard HFS will work. No of
the others on mac will work on the IIgs. I have only used them to move
images, not images of partitions.
