That depends upon what model of CD-ROM drive that your friend has. If it's the
AppleCD SC, you'll have no problem: use the Installer to place the CD-ROM
drivers in your IIgs system files. However, if it's anyone else's drive,
particularly a non-Sony mechanism, you're on your own. I have yet to find a
non-Sony drive that works on a IIgs (or any Apple II, for that matter).
