     You can use an HFS-formatted Zip disk to transfer files between
computers. Ideas for doing this are presented in more detail in the FAQs at
http://home.swbell.net/rubywand/Csa2ZIPTF.html#008 .

     When you have the files on an HFS disk in your IIgs Zip drive, you can
transfer them to ProDOS diskettes, a ProDOS /RAM5 RAM disk, or ProDOS hard
disk partition.

     Eventually, you should end up with diskettes which can install System
6.0.1 on the first partition (ProDOS) of a Zip disk. Zip disks work fine for
booting GS System 6.0.1.

     A good place to get the System 6.0.1 disk files is USA2WUG at ...
