The GS will read/write an HFS disk with GS/OS system 6.0.1 (or 6.0) and 
the HFS FST installed.  The system software is available from ftp.apple.com.

On the Mac side, you need to use the program Apple File Exchange, which
will read ProDOS disks.  I think you can read ProDOS disks using the
latest system software too, but I don't know how as I don't have a Mac :)
