You could get one of them rare IIGS profile cards, but the mech inside
the profile is very old and 5MB is not much working room for GS/OS.

Steve Buggie does Profile upgrades.  You provide him with an
SCSI mech and a Profile and he will return the Profile to you as
a brand new SCSI external drive.

The Profile's case is very nice, so this is a good way to go.  And with
the prices of 1GB SCSI mechs rock bottom (works well with the
Apple High Speed SCSI card), might as well plunk down $25 for
such a mech used and pay Steve Buggie another $10 to put it into
the Profile (he also needs to install the Centronics SCSI connectors
and the SCSI ID switch) to get a super Profile perfect for the IIGS.
