5.25? No. 3.5? Sure! There was the Floptical drive, both Iomega
and Insite versions. The IIGS supported them. The drive supported
3.5 disks of 20MB, 1.44MB, and 720k capacity.
Recently, the SCSI version of the LS-120 SuperDisk drive for the
Macintosh will work on the IIGS with the standard SCSI drivers.
It supports 3.5 disks of 120MB, 1.44MB, and 720k capacity.
You can easily do 120MB or 1.44MB ProDOS OR HFS with this
drive.
But hurry if you want it. It looks like the SCSI version is being
phased out in favor of the USB version.
