The //c can only use Unidisk 3.5" drives, and I think can only use two
extra drives. The GS can go a little further, but I'm not sure.
Someone else could probably tell you. ;-)

Well, it does have to be one released after a certain date. The
earliest //cs couldn't use Unidisks.

There are still a few resalers out there, but they're kind of pricey.
You're best bet is to either ask on comp.sys.apple2.marketplace if
anyone has any to sell, or check Ebay.

Mmmm, tricky! Again, check either the .marketplace, or Ebay.
