I'm trying to put the write the two emulator

to 5.25" floppies.
I downloaded them and DSK2FILE.SHK on my G5, copied them to a FAT
floppy on my G5, and then read the floppy on my PowerBook 540c, which
I then used to write the files out to a 800KB ProDOS floppy. I
booted System 6 on my //gs from its SyQuest 44, and copied the floppy
to the disk cartridge. Then I unshrunk the DSK2FILE.SHK and used the
app to write the two Weeping Snows files to 5.25" floppy. Each one
took ~10-15 minutes to write, and now that I'm done, I can't seem to
access them.
Any idea on how on earth I should get these written to floppy?
Sounds like you did everything right, but it should've have taken 10-15
minutes to write each floppy. It should've only taken a minute for each.
Are you using double density floppies? Do not use high density...it will
only give you problems.
