I think I did format the drive w/ ADU. But you're right, I got a msg. that
there were "no mac drivers found" or somesuch.

I had another disk that was formatted on a non G3-mac. It read fine on the
GS but no 800k+ transger would work.
Well, it didn't read fine, I got a few "unrecognized" msgs format? eject?
whch I clicked format * ended upp w/ a few 64k or gerater proods
partitions. This off the HFS volume. It seems like an HFS vol. is not
"fully" initialized & so the GS want to make sense of the few remaining k,
if that makes sense.....

I wish this were a solution, but one zip disk I tried *was"* formatted on
the mac.

ok, if you think that will help......
