As far as I know, it's a Mac only drive.  It originally came out around 
the time of the 512K Macintosh and was only around for a short while 
after that Mac Plus came out.  A friends roommate in college had one 
hooked up to his Mac Plus.  I'm 99.99% certain that the Apple II's, 
including the GS, don't have the necessary support in the hardware.
