The board is limited to 1MB, so it is pretty much useless.  You
need at least 4MB for the IIGS to function properly (and that
means run most software like Wolf 3D GS or AWGS with hires
inkjet/laser printer).

Go to http://www.allelec.com/ Alltech Electronics, click on
"Apple II" then "Memory" and buy a Sirius RAM card.  You
can buy it equipped with 4MB or 8MB or you can populate
it with 1MB SIMMs (from a 0MB or a 2MB size)....

You'll also need to click on "chips" and buy a ROM 01 upgrade.
