I am looking to expand my hard disk on my Apple IIgs system.  Currently
I own a Sider Hard disk (10 meg).  I have looked into getting another
to daisy chain on, but after looking at the prices and the size of
drive I want to expand up to it is more cost effective to shelf the
Sider and get a SCSI drive...  So I have two questions

1) Are there any drives which would allow me to connect both an Apple IIgs
   and an IBM PC to the same drive?  ( SCSI can't right? ) 

2) Can I actually utilize all of a 100+ meg drive?  (32 meg partitions?)
 

Also, is the increase in speed worth spending an extra hundred dollars
to get a RAMfast SCSI card?

Thanks,


Joel Duerksen
