That's a solution that I'll use if I can't get this Mac to work.  I
found the original disks for System 7 Pro (7.1.1, according to Apple
it's not compatible with Mac SE, I'm crossing my fingers) so maybe
I'll be able to read ProDOS disks.

Funny thing, now that's the only problem I have.  I have a program
that can read Mac HD floppies on the PC.  Now I just need to get an
Apple (Mac) to read the floppies from another Apple (IIGS) !

hehehehe
