Aside from the SecondSight card in System B (which I admit is semi-useless but still hard to get) everything else is still obtainable with patience and a hefty budget.

It is not a manner of practicality ... between both systems, I'd still
mix and match to my liking.

I'd have the TransWarpGS,  RAMKeeper with the 6Mb GS-RAM+/2Mb Expander
+ GS-RAM III (as ROM drive), the CFFA3000 and RAMFast SCSI card with
CD-ROM, Uthernet, SuperDrive controller and the Soundmeister. And
select the AE Conserver (because you have the slots to put in the 3.5
drives).

As for TransWarp vs Zip, I'd have the Zip pushed up to 14.5MHz with
128k split-cache. The Zip consumes less power, and less likely to have
the entire system overheat.

PC-Transporter is a nice piece of hardware, I loved it when I owned
one .. and having a choice between having GNO/ME, PC-DOS and Finder.
Gives everyone a wow factor back then !
