Coupla things: III pluses came out in Jan '84 and were discontinued in 
June '84. And Woz signature edition IIgses do not differ in any way from
any ol' ROM 0. Most theories hold that they were the first 50000 or so IIgses
built. They were certainly among the first, and when I got mine in March '87
it was a bit of a surprise.
