Hi, I submitted three machines to be added to the Machine
Room over a year ago.  One was an update to the woefully
incorrect IIGS entry (the IIGS entry had nonsensical stuff
like "can only be expanded to 1MB of RAM" which is a
complete lie since the IIGS can take 8MB of RAM and in
fact MY IIGS has 8MB of RAM).  The others were entries
for the Apple IIc Plus and the Laser 128EX/2.  Well, after
I submitted the three entries, the guy who runs the site froze
updates.  I don't think they ever showed up there.

These are the spec files I send to new IIGS, Apple IIc Plus,
and Laser 128EX/2 users on csa2, by the way.

The following computing museum is more up to date:

The owner of this website promptly updates the site when
new info is submitted.
