Any 3.5" SCSI drive should work. The Apple High Speed SCSI card
should work with ANY SCSI drive. The RamFAST does not like some
drives that require the SCSI controller to have an ID number.
Power can be tapped from the power supply's 5V and ground lines.
I'm more concerned about space, since the inside of the IIGS case
is very cramped. The best solution is to find an external 3.5" HD
case to put the drive in.
