Re: Help making apple IIgs bootdisk

["Simon Biber" <simon@basilisk2.cjb.net>]

Is this right: you used a high density (HD), 1.44mb disk to transfer to the
Classic II. It has a HD 1.44mb internal drive, and an LD 800k external
drive. The Mac read the disk from the PC ok?

So you have the image on the Mac, and you want to use DiskCopy to write it
out to the 800k floppy. Make sure you are using a floppy without HD on the
case. See if you can use Finder to erase disk and initialise as ProDOS
format first.
