Hello all!<br />
<br />
I recently aquired an old Apple IIgs (yes, I said recently) and would like to fix it up as a Hobbie. &nbsp;However, I know very little about it! &nbsp;I have spent long hours trying to find information on various software but have been unable to determine what OS can run on it (other than the ROM). &nbsp;So if anyone will be able to tell me what OS can run on it and where I can still get a copy please let me know!<br />
<br />
I'm also looking for an HD to install on it, anyone have any specs on that? &nbsp;I was recently givin a &quot;Quantum Trailblazer&quot; 500meg(??) hard disk, apparently a SCSI HD controller card is needed. &nbsp;Do I need a special kind of hard drive too?<br />
<br />
Any other GOOD sources of general information would also be greatly appreciated.<br />
<br />
thanks!<br />

Blast from the past Apple IIgs

All of Apple's hardware is produced solely by Apple Inc., who determines internal systems, designs, and prices. Apple buys certain components wholesale from third-party manufacturers. The current Mac product family uses Intel x86-64 processors. All Mac models ship with at least 1 GB RAM as standard. Current Mac computers use ATI Radeon or nVidia GeForce graphics cards and include a dual-function DVD and CD burner, called the SuperDrive. Current Apple hardware includes the iPad, iPhone, iMac, Mac Pro, Macbook, iPod and Apple TV. Discontinued hardware includes the Apple I, Apple II, and the Apple III, the Lisa, the Newton, the Quadra, Performa, Centris, Macintosh II and LC series, the Power Macintosh, iBooks and the MacBook.

Apple Hardware

Apple's early computers ran on a variety of operating systems, including a Pascal version and one based on CP/M, before releasing its ProDOS with the advent of its 16-bit computer. With the release of the Lisa, which had its own OS, Apple and computing entered the graphical age; it was followed by the Macintosh, which offered a series of "System" operating systems. Other Mac operating systems included PowerPC until Apple acquired NeXT and folded it into the Mac OS. Current operating systems for Apple devices are Mac OS-X and iOS.
