I just want to add to David's info.  I have used Zip100 disks on my IIGS
and MacLC.  Some are all HFS, some are partitioned ProDOS and HFS, and
some are all ProDOS partitioned.  The MacLC and IIGS read/write fine.
Obviously, the IIGS is running sys6.01 with HFS and ProDOS FSTs.  P8
can only read/write to ProDOS partitions, but the Zip disk itself can
be partitioned ProDOS/HFS  (I always make the first partition(s) ProDOS
and HFS the last partition(s)).

The MacLC is running OS 7.0 with PCExchange (v1.0 ?).  It has the standard
Zip drivers installed.  It can use both the ProDOS and HFS disks/partitions.
It doesn't handle removable ProDOS partitions/disks well.  That is, to
use ProDOS partitions, the Zipdisk has to be inserted and the MacOS restarted
for a disk with ProDOS or ProDOS/HFS partitions to show up on the desktop.
I think an HFS only disk can be ejected/inserted at any time though.

So, I don't think using a ProDOS partitioned disk on a IIe and a Mac
is impossible, or even that tricky.  Not seamless, but it does work
pretty well.  I can't recall if the IIe card in the LC can see ProDOS
partions or not, but I think it can.  I don't bring my ZipDrive in
very often to hook up to the MacLC, and my grey matter is not what it
used to be :-) )

By the way, I have used both an Apple Hi-speed SCSI and an older RevC
SCSI on the IIGSes (yes, I have 5 IIGS with SCSI cards - oops, 4; one
is AI InnerDrive 40) [brag, brag, brag].

I have no experience with SysQuest or Bernoulli systems, or flopticals,
but I don't know they wouldn't work as well.  Also, I didn't get
this all figured out the first try.  I partitioned 3 Zipdisks with
ADU on my IIGS HS-SCSI before I figured out how to get the Mac and IIGS
to share the disks.  Then all 3 Zipdisks worked fine.  I really don't
know what I did wrong, or right.  But I now have no problems at all.
