Could someone list all the various OS-9 floppy disk formats for both
5.25 and 3.5 inch floppy disks?

Which of these formats would be accessible to a Color Computer 2 running
OS-9 level I ver. 2.00 with the SDisk device driver and 5.25 and 3.5
inch floppy drives?

My problem is I need to add some software to a ROM-based GESPAC 68020
system running OS9 68K.  This system has no disk drives and my software
is on GESPAC format 3.5 inch disks!  I was thinking of using my old
Color Computer as a "gateway" to transfer the code to the 68020.
My plan is to add SDisk and a 3.5 inch drive to the coco and 
connect the coco to the GESPAC system via their serial ports.
Will this work?

Any help would be appreciated.
