No. the IIgs 3.5" drive(A9M0106) won't work at all with a IIc. There is a
drive called the 3.5" UniDisk(A2M2053) that will work with the IIc. Only
catch is that if you have one of the earliest IIcs, then you need a ROM
upgrade to use it. To tell if you need this upgrade from the basic prompt type
"PRINT PEEK (64447)" and press return.
If it displays 255 then you have the earliest IIc and can't use the 3.5"
UniDisk
without a ROM upgrade.
If it displays 0 you can use the 3.5" UniDisk
If it displays 3 or 4 you also have a memory expansion connector.
