SCSI:

Hard drive=yes
Zip drive=yes
CDROM=yes
CD-RW=no

I had a 1GB hard disk on my IIGS chained to my Apple High
Speed SCSI card and a CD-ROM and SCSI Zip drive chained
off them.

The Zip drive was nice.  If you format the Zip disk as HFS
(making sure the HFS FST is installed on your IIGS
system disk), you don't have to partition the Zip disk.

I found some old Apple SCSI CD-ROM drives.  I then
kept one of them as is for CD-ROM and removed the
CD-ROM from the other enclosure and installed the
Insider internal SCSI Zip Drive into it.  Worked great.
It was cool to see the black Zip drive inside the
platinum Apple CD-ROM case with Apple logo too.
