Are you able to boot a IIgs with the disk you create?  You don't
specifically mention that. It's true that a Power Mac can create an 800K
disk which it can read, no problem.  The problem has been getting a IIgs or
IIc+ to read the disk, and it seems to be the floppy disk controller as well
as the drive that is incompatible.
