yeah, I tried the HD 20, no dice. It just sat there. I booted off the GS/OS system floppy, and ran the advanced disk utility on the system tools 1 disk. It did not even pick it up,…

I have an Apple Rev C SCSI card in one of my IIgs systems and it is fast enough for GS/0S use. What I like about it is if I feel like just booting from a floppy to play a game I do…

The HD20 definitely won't work on a IIgs. There were only a few macs that it'd work on. Support for it had to be in ROM and unfortunately they never did that for the Apple II line.…

Nope, the whole system has assumptions about two drives per controller "slot." It just so happens that your slots are v…

ah yes, for some reason, I had a hunch it was 4. So I can't have 3x 5.25" and 1x 3.5? Not a big deal, as I have the right cards. I just need to pull it out of my IIe.

You are allowed 4 drives on a IIgs. 2 x 3.5" and 2 x 5.25". The 3.5" have to be connected to the IIgs 1st in the chain (I have the drive manuals from Apple).

You can format the "rest" of the disk with HFS once you've got GS/OS up and running (and updated to a non-buggy HFS driver) to recover the othe…

I do have only a 2 Mb Ram card. I also have what I think is a SCSI card, not installed as of yet. So it should be ok, I hope. Thanks!
