I've tried comp.binaries.apple2, using DiskCopy encased in Macbinary, but
if there is another place or format, let me know. It needs to be possible
to put it together on a PowerMac running Mac OS 8.6, or an apple IIGS sans
monitor (which would be a trick).

Just name it, I'll do what I can. As for the issue of the IIGS having a
hard time reading the disks, certain Quadras and at least one early
PowerMac (don't remember the model, but it was available in 1994 or 1995,
my memory's a little fuzzy) had a shitty drive that couldn't handle double
density disks properly, only high density disks.
