Lucky IIgs find at Computer Fair

[david@uow.edu.au (David Wilson)]

I was not expecting to find anything Apple // related at the PC computer
fair I visited today until I saw a familiar grey box under a table. It was
a IIgs CPU with a Woz signature on the lid (I have not seen one of those
before). I opened it up and to my delight I found two more cards I did not
already have: a Sandwich II (HS-SCSI card) and a PC Transporter (with AE
Color Switch). It also has an Apple memory expansion card (1MB I guess)
as well. All this cost me A$10 (US$5). A$6 more and I had a mouse, keyboard
& ADB cable to go with it. It looks like it has been upgraded to ROM01 and
new VGC chip (the serial number is low enough that both would need to have
been required) as the ROM ends in -B and the CGC in -C.

Now to find out if any of it works. According to the sticker on the lid it
once belonged to the NSW Police department and was auctioned off.

P.S. Is it common for the PC Transporter not to have ZIP RAM but instead
a daughter board with DIP RAM chips on it as that is what mine has.
