All flopticals, regardless of the brand, were actually made my only two
companies.  I think they were Insite and Iomega.  Both types work
on the IIGS.  If you have a RamFAST card, you just connect them to
your SCSI chain.  If you have an Apple High Speed SCSI card, you
can get a freeware driver for it (I can point you to an FTP site where
you can download it).
