     Yes. You can use ADTgs.

     Should work okay. If you use the SSC, the version of ADT to get
is v1.22. In general, though, a IIgs owner is better off using the
built-in serial ports. The hardware is better (faster) and you avoid
the added load of the SSC on your power supply.

     ADTgs is usually maintained in a .zip file. For instance, you can
find it on Ground at ftp://ground.ecn.uiowa.edu/apple2/Emulators/ .

     You can download ADTgs91.zip, unzip the file (e.g. with WinZIP),
and read directions for transferring ADTgs using the dump file.

     ADTgs uses the built-in IIgs Modem serial port and the Modem
serial port firmware associated with Slot 2.  The current version
(v.91) sets the Slot correctly when it starts.

article at http://www.apple2.org.za/gswv/a2zine/gswv/index.html in the
