Man, a IIgs with 5.25s only and talking ProDOS 16. Dude, ya gotta join us
in the '90s. Actually few people left '87 with a setup like that.

The thing is, any file that'd make your RAM disk boot into ProDOS 16 won't
fit on a 5.25 either. You need to visit the Mac forsale groups and scare up 
a 3.5 and a hard disk. Then forget ProDOS 16 and get system software 6.01
instead.

Try rzprof@aol.com. I've bought stuff from him, and I told a buddy how he
has Quadra 700s for $75 now and my buddy was all over it. He can cut you
a good deal on a 3.5 I bet.
