Hi,

I have a buttload of 5.25 disks that I want to use with my IIgs, but I 
need to use the 5.25 drive with a Mac IIci (has a disk drive port) to 
format the disks and write things to them. However, when I connect the 
drive to the Mac and start it up, it tries to read from the drive and 
then says the disk is locked and it cannot format. I click OK and then 
cycle repeats. with the same messeage wheter the disk is locked or not 
or whether ther is even a disk in the drive at all. Any ideas on how I 
can format ProDOS 5.25 disks on my Mac for my IIgs? Thanks
