Frankly, if you are going to be doing this more than once or twice,
spend the money on a 5.25" disk drive for your GS. It'll plug right
into the back of your GS's 3.5" drives and you'll be all set. You
could also add 3.5" drives to your //e, but those Unidisk 3.5" drives
and their controller card are getting more rare and expensive every
year.
