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?
