Enhanced, beige //e...stock CPU
AUX:  128k
S1:   Super Serial Card, unconnected but ready to go
S2:
S3:
S4:
S5:
S6:   Disk Controller Card connected to a DuoDisk
S7:   Vulcan-20 HD controller
Power supply replaced with a high-output model; Vulcan-20 HD mechanism
attached to the base pan underneath the keyboard.

Obviously this isn't my primary machine.  But it is my primary ][e, and I
use it to maintain and generate the Roller Coaster Almanac for Jim Serio's
World of Coasters (http://www.rollercoaster.com).  The almanac is at
http://www.rollercoaster.com/almanac and is quite large...the file
consists of an index file with 366 entries (one for each day of the year)
which point to the actual entries in the data file.  Each entry contains
a link to the next entry for that date if one exists, so I can have an
unlimited number of entries for each day, my programs will handle entries
of up to 512 characters, and I don't waste *any* disk space.

The entries are in plain text with a few formatting characters; I have
generator programs which generate files in either text or HTML.  And by
running the program on the ][e, I don't have to give up the IIgs while the
files are being generated.  The only problem is that the full text-version
is approaching 143k, so I am gonna have to hook up that SSC to my IIgs for
uploading...
