Judging by the speed and particularly the quality of your reply, I'd
say that's exactly right.

Thanks so much for this. Those two links make connecting the IIGS look
incredibly easy and make me feel like a dolt for even having to ask.
Once I receive my keyboard/mouse, I'll be able to break into BASIC,
figure out which ROM and how much RAM I have, and get bootstrapped
with adt. Sounds like at that point I'll be in business.

Thanks so much for the help, and I'm sure I'll be back once I can do
something slightly more sophisticated with my IIGS than use it as a
highly attractive paperweight and/or animated apple bouncer. I have to
say, this is really exciting - I'd forgotten how cool the Apple II is.

Cheers,
