Devin, this will work. Just make sure that the HFS Zip disk is
formatted on the GS first. I don't know how Linux implements HFS,
but if it does the Mac driver partition like the preformatted Mac
Zip disks do, then the GS will make you eject a couple of extraneous
partitions. A disk partitioned on the GS and formatted there in the
will not have this problem.
HFS Zip disks are also a nice way to sneakernet between the GS and
a Win95 PC. There are addons on the PC side that make it see HFS
volumes.
