How to share a prodos partition / IIGS floppy woes

[Skate323k137]

I recently got a IIGS (stand by for a conquests thread), and I've been trying to write floppies for it, but the drives in my powermacs are pretty unreliable.

The external 3.5 that came with the IIGS works great with my SE, and the SE can attach to shared volumes on the powermac. The powermac has a couple prodos partitions I can mount in Bernie ][ the rescue, so I can extract and copy .2mg images in bernie.

My problem comes when I have the files on the prodos partition I cannot share them. Sharing in 7.6.1 says they cannot be shared, but I can share HFS volumes fine.

When I write a disk using my powermac directly from Bernie, it "works" but I have errors because of the bad drive.

My belief is when I moved the files to a HFS share, then wrote them back to a prodos floppy using my SE, it caused some issue. The IIGS can see the files but will not boot from the disk. I'm hoping if I can mount the share as it's ProDos type, the files will copy correctly.

Any better ideas to write .2mg images to a disk from my SE? Or how to share the prodos volume on appletalk?  Could I use bernie to create a better format once the 2mg is mounted that I can just run through disk copy?

May have answered it. Creating a new diskcopy disk in Bernie, I'll write that to a floppy later and see how it goes.

Share an HFS volume on your Power Mac. The IIgs can see and access it. I used to do this all the time.

The IIGS is in a different physical location by itself, though I could probably move it.

It looks like my problem was the finder info files (created on the newer mac) took up the only couple free K on the system disk I was making, when copying from the hfs share. Prodos didn't get copied right as a result when the disk filled. 

I just got a good way to get 2mg files on to a disk though. I used bernie to save the files to a disk copy image instead of 2mg, and put that disk copy image on the share. The SE made physical copies of those images just fine. It would be nice to work with 2mg images directly on the SE but it's no big deal for now.
