 Daniel.Crosse raised the cup and toasted:

 DCC| Does anybody know if I can install a 3.5" SCSI drive (like a
    | drive made for the Mac) in a IIGS?  My main concern is getting
    | power to the drive, and if a particular SCSI card will work (like
    | the apple scsi card) with these drives. Or, do you need a special
    | drive for this.

In order:  Yep.  You may wind up getting a PC power supply from a
thrift store or computer store to power the thing.  Any of the SCSI
cards out there will work, the preference being the RamFast.  Nope,
SCSI drives is SCSI drives (I didn't say SCSI-2 or SCSI-3, folks!).
I've picked up a few drives out of thrifts, surplus sales, etc that I
kinda figured were used inside of a PC, which I've put in cases (found
used or made myself) and they worked fine once reformatted.

If it was formatted on the Mac originally, that should save you some
trouble -- the GS will recognise an HFS formatted disk right off.
