Well, I don't have it set up at the moment, but yes, I have a
Sequential Systems hard drive that was made to work with either a //c

just have to install it on the hard drive, then hook the hard drive up
to the //c+. Plugs into the back, same as any external drive. Best of
all, the //c+ will boot up off of the hard drive, once it's installed.
I'm not absolutely sure GEOS comes with a GUI interface, but I sure
hope so. I plan on proving to my brother that I can get my 8-bit
computer to run pretty much like his 32 bit machines. Granted, the
sound and graphics won't be the same, but otherwise it should be able
to do anything he can get his 32 bit machine to do.

Yes, GEOS has a GUI in fact, that was it's only UI. That was supposed to be it's advantage. Sadly, it came out too late and had little options for upgrades. Also, no developer support, such as a promised BASIC, appeared.
