Thanks for the info.

What is the largest memory card available? Can you install multiple
1mb memory cards, or is there just larger capcity cards? 

As for the 5 1/4", was there a larger capacity model for the GS or
only the model I have? What capacity is the 3 1/2" drive?

Thanks for all you answers, it's truly appreciated!
