Actually, the internal HD floppy on a Classic II shouldn't have a problem
with 800K ProDOS disks.  It should be the older auto-inject type that
does the variable speed on the 800K formats in hardware instead of trying
to emulate it in software with the newer drives.

I wrote many ProDOS disks from a DuoDock HD floppy with no problems.

Of course, an easier solution would be to set up a localtalk network
between the Classic II and the GS....
