New GS Owner ?'s

[downin@clark.net (Dave Downin)]

I just picked up a GS (Woz Limited Edition - ROM 01) system with the RGB 
monitor, keyboard, mouse, and 2 3&1/2" disk drives.  It also came with a little
software but no documentation on anything.  As such I have a few questions.

1) I also have a Performa 6116CD running 7.5.3.  I have found a few FTP sites
with software but they all seem to be in .dsk format (disk images).  Is there
anyway to download these to my Mac and save them to a floppy that I can then
use on the GS?

2) I also found that Apple's site has version 6.0.1 of the GS system (I have
a disk with 5.0.4).  It's 7 disks...I guess intended for a hard drive.  I
grabbed disk 2 (the system disk) figuring I could at least boot with that.
I was able to use Disk Copy on the Mac to save it out to a disk.  When I
insert it in the GS, I get "UNABLE TO LOAD PRODOS".  Looked at the disk on my
Mac and did see a ProDOS file...what gives?

3) Will the GS support a 14.4 modem (I have a LineLink 144 I'd like to use on 
the system)?

4) Will the GS support an Apple StyleWriter printer?

5) I noticed that when I opened it up there is some sort of memory card in it
already...seems like I have about 1M of total memory.  What can be put in the
other available slots?  Where can I get them?

6) Also noticed an empty white IC socket labeled "GAME".  What is/was this
intended for?

7) What would be the cheapest way to hook a hard-drive up to the system?  Can
you use regular SCSI hard drives?  If not, where could I buy one that would
work?

8) I noticed the joystick port is the same as on the Atari style joysticks
(just the opposite gender)...is there any way to make an adapter to allow
you to use Atari joysticks?  If so, where can I find out how?

9) Is there a newer version ROM that would work on the system?  Where can
I find one?

10) Are there any good web sites for Apple II GS info for someone who has
never used one before?
