I forget the name and manufacturer at the moment, but
there
was also a 'hardcard' that put both the drive and controller inside
the IIgs in, I believe, the slot closest to the PSU. It's been a
while since I saw one of these though.
Maybe the name escapes you, because it might have been "HardCard". I have
two hard drives on a card. I know one is called "HardCard", I am not sure
what the other is called. I have never been able to get them to work (but
I didn't throw them out cause they were too cool). Interesting thought...
I always tried to get them to work in PCs (ISA slot)... humm... I wonder
if they went to my old Apple II+'s (is the slot the same? Although, I
don't think they would have, as IIRC, they would be too tall, and they
have the dust cover plate for a PC on the back, which just would have
made no sense in an Apple II)

They exist. Last I knew a company on the web was still selling them,
full of software. Started with an A, but I don't remember the rest of
the name :-(
They have a laptop size IDE drive in them I think.

Just FYI most of this stuff I also sell, except cheaper. The exception is
that he lists new high speed Apple IIe scsi cards for $90, and I think the
market price is a bit more than that, so I wonder if its "in stock".

hardcard, I don't know about an apple II version... they were acquired? by
