You can save a couple of steps here. There is no need to format the disks
first.
Instead of having Disk Copy mount the disk images just have it create a new
disk
instead. The disks created will be in ProDOS format when they are done. This
will
eliminate the problem of having all the files in a folder on the new disks.You 
also do not need disk 7 which is A HFS disk to be used on a Mac when the GS is 
accessing AppleShare on the Mac.
