There was a thread discussing the impossibility of creating bootable ProDOS
disks from a Mac with a 'force-feed' floppy drive. Seems it ain't necessarily
so.
Using Bernie ][ the Rescue on a G3 iMac with a cheap USB floppy, I first
create a Diskcopy 4.2 800KB image, which I copy to a 1.44 MB diskette with the
finder.
Then I transfer the disk image to a PowerPC 6100/66 which has the non-auto-
inject disk drive (running System 7.5)... copy the image to the HD. Format an
800KB ProDOS disk with the finder and then use DiskDup+ to copy the image to the
floppy...
So far it's worked perfectly. I've made both GS/OS 5 & 6 and ProDOS startup
disks this way... :) The one oddity is that GS-formatted disks take a long time
to write, whereas the ones formatted under MacOS seem to write much quicker...
DiskDup+ is the key. I wondered myself why I hadn't tried Diskcopy... so I
tried it -- without success.

013- Can I transfer files on MS-DOS disks to my IIgs?
You can use Peter Watson's MUG! program on your IIgs to transfer files via
MS-DOS Iomega Zip disks. MUG! will let you read Zip disks on a IIgs equipped
with a Zip drive and a SCSI interface.
MUG is an NDA; so, it can be installed like other NDA's-- e.g. having the
main MUG! file (probably MUG.1.01) in the System/Desk.Accs/ folder when booting.
For easy use, start with a regular ProDOS Zip disk in your IIgs Zip Drive.
Start a standard IIgs desktop program that does not test inserted disks. A good
choice is PMPUnzip. Swap in the MS-DOS Zip disk. Start MUG! from the Apple menu
on the top menu bar.
