    You mean how do you transfer the files from the CD-ROM image to the IIgs?

    (I'll pick this up on behalf of the OP. I also bought Opus][ from Juiced.GS but have not done anything with it yet.)
    Yes, how to install the software if my IIGS does not have a CD drive?

    Target system = IIGS ROM03, 8MB, 5.25 & 3.5 floppy drives (2 of each), CFFA3000, but no CD.

    Opus ][ contains a 32MB hard drive image (For Emulators:Byteworks) with
    all the software preinstalled on it. If you have a modern storage
    device that can deal with hard drive images, it's probably easiest to
    just load that onto it.

    If you don't want to just use the hard drive image, there are also
    images of all the install disks (Disk Images directory), which you
    could write to actual floppies or use with the CFFA3000. (You might
    need to convert the image format with CiderPress or something to use
    the floppy images on the CFFA3000.)
