     You can set things up to run quite a few 5.25" images on a IIgs. On
a real //e you would use a diskette. 

     One way to transfer disk images to diskette on a //e is via a
dedicated NULL modem program named "ADT". You can find more info in the
FAQs at http://home.swbell.net/rubywand/Csa2T1TCOM.html . Another place
to look is GSWV: "Finally! ADT for Windows" which is an article with links
at http://196.25.210.13/gswv/a2zine/gswv/index.html .

     For more info about disk images see Q&A in the FAQs at
