Apple IIgs owners who have SCSI cards might be interested in the floptical drives currently on eBay (not from me). Cheap at $40 or Make Offer. I ordered one and it worked great as an alternative to reading 1.44MB DOS-formatted diskettes (see my blog post), instead of looking for the hard-to-find 3.5" Drive Controller Card. http://peterwong.net/blog/?p=71 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370300643167
I have been keeping an eye out for some form of HD 3.5" drive to use with my IIgs as I've never had that capability and at 40 USD, this isn't a bad deal. Unfortunately, the fact that they are charging $25 (more than three times the shipping cost of $8 in the continental US) plus possibly having custom brokerage fees on top of that makes me pause. :/
