Re: Looking for IIe-IIgs conversion kit

[buggie@ben16.unm.edu (stephen e buggie)]

I wrote a magazine article for JUICED.GS called "HARDWARE-HACKING THE
STEALTH-GS." about making this conversion.   I've done three so far.

Also, Steve Townsend of Tacoma WA (whom I met in person in Aug 98) also
does this conversion.  But we do HACKSAW-HACKING; we must cut through the
IIe back panel to do it.  

Possibly the factory-version of the conversion kit is available from 
Shreve Systems of Louisiana.  The factor version of course looks 
more elegant.

I'd do the conversion to a IIe casing for you for $20.00 plus return
shipping, and if I get to keep the empty IIgs original box-style CPU 
casing.  (I'd use the box-style casing to install a Bugg-Power supply ---
see my recent posting on this network about it.)

If you want a paper copy of my magazine article, mention your postal
address and I will send it.

Yes, the stealth-GS is great.  I don't care what anyone else says --- the
IIe keyboard "feel" is still my favorite!     Steve Buggie
