   On the Macs you need a control panel called "Dos compatibilty" to read Prodos   
   formatted disks.   
      
   Having that check the disk size, 800 kb vs 1.6 Mb.  Although the Macs should   
   still be able to read 800 kb disks formatted by the IIe, the drivers on the   
   Mac most likely try to read the disk too fast.   
      
   I find that installing "Bernie2theMac" on the Macs will read those 800 kb   
   Prodos formatted disks perfectly.  And in my view was still one of the best   
   IIGS emulators ever written.
