What monitor are you using with your Apple IIe? To copy GEOS to your
hard drive I believe you have to use GEOS itself to copy it, as you
discovered it isn't Prodos or Dos 3.3 and Copy II+ doesn't understand
what to do with it. I've got a copy of the GEOS manual for the Apple
II. Give me a little while and I can send you the section on
installing GEOS on a herd drive.
