     Usually, a "disk image" is a kind of virtual disk file intended for
use on a IIgs emulator program running on a Mac or PC. The are some
files of this type on Asimov-GS at ...

     However, it sounds like you are chiefly interested in IIgs software
which is not in disk image form-- i.e., you want files you can transfer
to and use on your GS with minimal hassle. There is quite a lot of
software available for the GS on the various archives. Most of it is in
compressed ShrinkIt form (usually .shk or .sdk files) which you unShrink
on the GS using GS-ShrinkIt.

     Here are two places with large collections:
