Wow, I didn't think that the RamFast would have much problems... curious as
to why there is a difference.

Okay, how about the MSDOS.FST on the IIgs... Wouldn't I be able to create a
cd on the Windoze machine that is dos based and copy the IIgs files that are
in a zip format onto the cd... Then bring it over to the IIgs?  I know the
programs  won't run, but its more for the purposes of an archive format and
being able to transfer larger data between two different machines.
