Here, here. That's the same thing that I do. I find that a desktop Power Mac
G3 (the one with built-in serial ports) fits the bill quite nicely and
frequently serves as an AppleShare server for the IIgs.
If I were to get a 3.5" disk system, it would definitely be for the IIe. I'm
fine with 800k disks on the IIgs. I managed to squeeze System 6 and
Marinetti onto one!
