IIgs Newbie Question

I've got some basic questionas about a IIgs I recently purchased. This is
an Apple IIe to IIgs conversion. Here are the questions:
1. Where might I find an operating system? The Machine has 2 3.5" drives
and a dual 5.25" drive system (although I think only one of the latter will
read)
2. Is it possible to add a HD from a Mac (such as a Quantum) to this
puppy and load the OS and programs?
3. How much memory should I add to make this productive for really basic
SW such as Print Shop, AppleWorks, and some MECC stuff? Also where do I
get a card and chips?
4. Is there a good magazine(s) and/or book(s) to read to get familiar
with the IIgs.
I might add that this is the 2nd IIgs I've had in my hands in the past 4
months. The first I cleaned up and gave (actually, he begged for it!) to my
father-in-law, but this one I'm determined to keep for the kids!
Thanks in advance!
