You could try downloading that GSOS disk image (someone just posted the
URL... ah yes, here it is...)

"As Scott Alfter pointed out, GSOS and ProDos 3.2 are available here:"

Then try making the disk. That just cuts out one step. If that still
doesn't work, you could try another type of floppy drive. I think the
cables and controller will work with earlier floppy drives, but I'm not
positive... maybe someone else knows.

Definitely use DiskDup (I think it was DiskDup+).
