The PC can read and write HFS and ProDOS Zip disks and hard drive
partitions for the IIGS just fine and the KEGS and Sweet16 IIGS
emulators support these media storage devices fine, both ProDOS
and HFS.

Zip disks and hard disks are not really that rare.  All is needed is
SCSI for the IIGS, which is not too hard to come by.
