I used TransMac to write to Mac formatted disk on the PC.

Check your system folder and see if the ProDOS extension is loaded.
If it isn't, then check your Extensions Manager to see if it has been
disabled. If not, then I would suggest reinstalling system 7.5 because
it should have both PC Exchange and ProDOS formats available.
I am using a Mac Performa 575 which is a big brother to the LCII
(68040 series based on a Quadra) with System 7.5.5 and I can
read ProDOS disk.

Sure can. When you put in a unformatted disk you should have the
following options: 800K Mac HFS and 800K ProDOS in a drop
down box. If not, you have not installed the ProDOS extension.

I made mine using DiskCopy 6.3.3.
