Re: Whats it for?

How do you fit the board into a IIe?  I have one of those
IIe ready boards.  I examined the IIe case but I don't see
any way of mounting the IIgs motherboard in there so that
the Floppy, monitor and all the other ports are accessible.
You would have to cut the metal case of the IIe to get it
to fit.
