sounds suspiciously like a bad disk and/or your drive heads need
cleaning. If you have other disks I would suggest using them.

correct... ADTGS needs DOS3.3, but as I mentioned before ADTPro works
under ProDOS. You can get ADTPro from here:

http://adtpro.sourceforge.net/

If you can get ADTPro onto your ProDOS disk then you should be fine, as
you can transfer ANY image - be it DOS3.3, ProDOS, 5.25" images, 3.5"
images, or hard disk images - and hopefully you'll be up and running in
no time.  :-)
