Any images written by a PowerMac (or "newer" Mac) will not load on a
IIgs. The versions of MacOS that run on these machines overwrite
several bytes of the GS/OS code as the images are expanded to floppy,
causing the UNABLE TO LOAD PRODOS errors. I ran into this problem
several years ago, and this was the explanation I was given on
comp.sys.apple2. An SE/30 worked flawlessly.

How elderly is "elderly"? I tried a Mac SE, but it didn't have enough

720K disks? Disk storage and capacity makes NO since to me.
Thanks,

When I did this I had to expand the files on an
elderly macintosh to get
usable disks. They each write out a disk image.
