the easiest way would be to pop about $20 out and connect the IIGS to the
Mac via Appletalk.  Then, the IIGS can see the Mac HD as one of it's own,
and you can grab files off it like nothing.

But, unles you have a third party SCSI driver, you can't hook up a ProDOS
SCSI device to the Mac (dammit!).  Anubis, SIlverLining, and the FWB
Toolikt should all allow you to mount the ProDOS drive directly on the Mac
if you want to.
