I've got the OS here, downloaded on my computer, so whoever wants it, just
ask, and I'll e-mail it as an attachment, or, I could like post it on my web site, or
something.
There is a Macintosh utility that is required to write the disks,

SO easy.
It sounds like no one can remember where it can be found, I know I can't
:^( called "Disk Copy". Very handy util if you
have a Mac. I ran into one
problem when I created my set of disks, I wasn't able to write them using
my PowerMac 8500/180. I ended up creating them using either my SE/30 or
Powerbook 520c, I don't remember which. Basically any cheap 68k Mac with a
1.44Mb floppy can do this.
Got 'em. But, I still can't get it working.
I'll try it on my 200 MHz "beast". (Well, compared to my former 486/66 28MB
RAM 2.1GB HDD, it's REALLY NICE.)
BTW, Zane, sorry for not replying to that Linux e-mail, I've been really busy.
I'll respond soon.

2. Does anyone know how to get the XGS Win32
emulator working?
Sounds obscene. You probably need the ROMs for the IIgs. No, I don't know
where or how you can get them.
