You've obviously never seen inside a IIsi. The logic board is about half the
size of a IIgs board and only takes up the back half of the case. The front
half has plastic supports for the hard disk and floppy molded in, making
it impossible for a bigger board to fit. Then there's the power supply
that won't fit, and the fact that the case is too short for any expansion
cards to fit.

Do you think before you post goofiness like this?
