Just started using a IIGS recently (had last used/sold my IIC back in
1994)....

Best bet is to look over the EXCELLENT FAQ's at:

Here is where I am getting information on software and capabilities for the
IIGS

Using an Apple Superdrive Controller Card, and either purchasing an external
Superdrive, and replacing the internal mechanism with an old Macintosh
superdrive mechanism, you can use (on a IIGS) HFS = Macintosh formatted, as
well as native format 1.44 MB floppies.

As far as other removable media, with an Apple SCSI card (there are other
brands as well), you can connect an external 50-pin SCSI CD-ROM, Zip Drive,
etc.
