Old 20 MB Hard Drives + IIGS?

[rdwill@igate1.hac.com (David Williams)]

I've got a bunch of old (1985) 20 MB Apple Hard Drives.  These
drives are _NOT_ SCSI compatible and appear to connect via the
floppy connector.  I think they are classified as serial devices
though.  Inside the case is a non-SCSI Rodime drive.  I believe
they were originally intended for use with a 512K Mac or Mac Plus.

Can I use these drives on any of the Apple II series computers,
especially a IIGS?  I called 800-SOS-APPL and they said these
drives won't work with a IIGS, but they didn't seem to know much
about the Apple II line.

I will probably try connecting one of these drive to a IIGS later
this week, but I don't expect too much without any software specific
to this application.  Any insight into these drives or pointers to
useful FAQ files would be appreciated.
