no i kept the Macintosh formatting, and used the HFS.FST to read it...i 
am going to experiment with reformatting again as a Mac device using the 
IIgs to see if get some better results with it...

you SHOULD be able to make a 32mb IIgs partition and have your IIgs boot 
off th Zip Disk, it DOES try to boot off it if its the first device on 
the SCSI chain!
