Hi Randy;
No you do not need to buy IBM drives, the Apple IIGs 3.5 needs to be pluged into the PcTransporters Slot. It will read Apple disks when in the apple mode and IBM formatted disks only in the PcTransporter mode.
I hope this helps, if this is insuffient e-mail me again and I will diggout my PcTransporter Mannual and e-mail its writtings. :)
