CiderPress will also allow opening volumes as "writeable", so
you can use the same method going back to the IIgs.

You can either copy and paste groups of files or you can get
the "volume" on the PC the way you want it, then copy it all
back to the Zip disk.  (This is the same way you would use
CiderPress to restore a backup.)
