There is probably a really complicated way to do it, but you should pick up
at least one 3.5" drive. They are very common and sell for $15 on the net
last time I looked, less at thrift shops if you can find 'em.  Grade schools
are also a good source of surplus IIGS parts. Meantime, you can download the
GSOS disk images from Apple and create a set of floppies using the DiskCopy
utility which is also a free download from Apple.  Once you have the floppy
drive, you can install from those disk images.
