Can Apple II gs read Macintosh diskette even the latest iMac or extract compressed Macintosh files?

The GS can read Mac HFS disks. Unless you have a Superdrive hooked up to the GS you can only read 800k HFS floppies. If you have a way to hook up a hard disk or CD ROM drive to the GS you can read Mac HFS hard drives or CD-ROMs.

Macs can also read and write ProDOS, but only OS 9 or older. It may be possible to use an OS X Mac with a USB floppy drive, and a Superdrive on the GS, to exchange files that way.
