 No I have never seen anyting about it either . The other way, using a
Disk Drive ][  on the DB19 port. But if the cable is made wrong it
would blow up the IIgs mother board. RedMen Cable quit making them
because the cost of replacing a IIgs mother at the time took the profit
out of it. My friends IIgs blew up. I checked the cable and it was not
right.

 Why not get a controler for the newer drive? I have some used ones, as
well as brand new ones, that work in anything from a II, II+ IIe or
IIgs. Why would any one want in a IIgs?  But it works in all of the
above. If you need aother drive I have those too.

Take Care,
