| IIgs - Where Do I Start? |

Then, get the disk images for GS/OS from Apple's site:http://www.info.apple.com/support/oldersoftwarelist.html I've downloaded those files and created the first 2 floppy out of them. But when I put them in the IIgs floppy, its telling me that it cannot read PRODOS from them.
Any idea?

Anyone have an idea of why my IIgs don't boot the GS/OS disks?

Was the procedure you adopted correct?
Something on your system disk you use may be wrong.
- download Sys 6.0.1 disk 2 image and put it on a vintage mac superdrive equipped
- download "prodos II extension" (part of IIe emulation card software) and put it on extension folder of a vintage mac.
- format and initialize an DD 800k prodos disk on a vintage mac
- burn the Sys 6.0.1 disk 2 image on a double density disk using Diskcopy 4.0
Hope this helps.

Hope this helps. I copied the disk for my IIgs (disk 1 and disk 2) from a Beige G3 running OS 9. Could OS 9 be the culprit here?

You need to use DiskDup+ (available here) to image the disks. It does a much better job, especially where ProDOS is concerned.

You got it. I wrote the disk 2 from my LC475, which has the afford-mention extension (IIe card installed) and it worked like a charm. The IIgs booted up to GS/OS.
Thanks
