I would cast my vote toward ez135 or the new syquest syjet 220meg. syjet Cost
aprox $200 and 220 meg cartriges are less the 20 dollars each. Blazing speed
of 13ms access (scsi) compared to 33ms of zip drives. ez135's are discontinued
but you can still pick one up for less then a zip drive and it comes with one
cartridge.

If you noticed I'm new to this group. Just dusted off my IIGS and gave it to
my daughter to play with. Is there any software available for this?
