     That's weird. In tests using a ROM-01 GS running Sys 6.0.1, GSHK
had no problem making whole-disk archives of two Apple Pascal (v1.1)
diskettes (Apple1 and Apple2). Let me try something ... It works okay on
a Pascal-created Save disk, too.

     The explanation may be that GSOS is more picky about checking a
diskette's source OS. 8-bit ShrinkIt appears to be happy with any Apple
diskette laid out on the usual 35-track, 16-sector format. Perhaps there
is something about the Pascal diskette you tried which seems
non-standard to GSOS.
