Hard drive in a GS

["Jerry W. Jordak" <jwj2@po.cwru.edu>]

Hello,

Last night I acquired a secondhand Apple IIGS with 3.5" and 5.25" floppy
drives. Scrawled in pencil on the front of the machine is "HD problems...
reinitialize!" Now the only GS machines I had ever used before were in
my high school, and they didn't have hard drives. I didn't even know they
were made for the IIGS.

So I took the machine apart, and the power supply a sticker on the front
which says "20 Meg" and a ribbon cable going to a card with the name
"Applied Engineering" on it. So I am assuming that this machine has a 
20 MB hard drive from a third-party company called Applied Engineering.

But, when I turn the machine on, it acts like the drive isn't even there.
I have not played around with it since, but I am assuming that the drive
needs to be reinitialized. How can I do that, and before that, how do I
make the machine recognize the drive? Or at least can somebody tell me
something or anything about this hard drive?

(Forgive me if I sound clueless, but I haven't touched any type of Apple 
II in probably 5+ years.... :-)

Thanx,
-Jer
