Re: What does the IIgs ROM 3 manual look like?

["Jason Whorton" <REMOVEjason@microxl.com>]

Hello.  Thank you for the responses.  Is there a difference between the ROM
0 and ROM 1 manuals?  I have two different manuals here and one has color on
the front and one is black and white.  The black and white cover mentions
256K RAM on board and mentions that the computer came with the Apple brand
memory card and 256K RAM on the card.  It is copyright 1988.
    Also, does anyone have a packing list for the IIgs ROM 3?  I am trying
to buy everything that would have come with a new one, so it would be very
helpful.

Thank you,
Jason Whorton
