I can email you a customized version of System 5.0.4 with the
HFS FST installed so that you can read and write Mac HFS
800k disks on the IIGS.  This version works well in 1MB.

If I email you an .shk file, can you extract it on the IIGS?  It
would be a compressed 800k disk in an .shk archive.  Let me
know by email and where to email it to.
