Hmm I've had a IIgs for twelve years. I expect the 230 mb hard disk on it
to never get full. The 30 mb ProDOS volume is more or less full but the
200 mb HFS volume has about 70 mb on it.

All the newer gig+ hard disks I've ever tried such as a 2 gig Quantum Atlas
and 2 gig Seagate Barracuda make my IIgs act as if nothing is on the bus.
As if putting 7200 RPM AV rated drives on an Apple II isn't the epitome of 
overkill. My 230 mb magneto optical drive does the same thing.
