Get a IIGS with PC Transporter and sell the //e.
(If you need 5.25" IBM diskette compatibility, you'll also need
an IBM-compatible disk drive.  Apple 3.5 drives can be used for
both purposes.  Hard disk highly recommended.)

The vast majority of //e software will work on the IIGS, although
there are a few exceptions (usually caused by the programmer using
undocumented monitor entry points).
