...but you don't need a ProDOS partition if you don't want to boot on
a GS. The GS is perfectly happy to use the Zip disk as a single
HFS volume. ADU with GenEx will reformat Zip disks as entire HFS
disks that can be accessed on a Mac but won't cause the GS Finder
to gag on driver stuff (GenEx extracts a GenericMacSCSI driver that
is needed by ADU...with it, no more "Can't load Mac driver" errors).
