Re: Portable Apple II

[Jack Countryman <jcountry@hsonline.net>]

As I dimly recall, Tony had such a working unit some years ago that he
showed off....perhaps at a KansasFest??  He had taken a IIGS
motherboard, ZipGSX accellerator, HighSpeed Scsi card, hard drive,
floppies and stuffed it all into an old 'luggable' case  from some sort
of IBM compatible using a small (9 inch?) mono screen.  There were
pictures in one of the old Apple II magazines at the time.  As I recall,
the monitor was the holdup/hardest to find part.  I don't think it ever
got as far as a kit/commercially available unit.

Tony was (maybe still is?) with All-Tech Electronics...one of the better
sources for hardware parts for the IIGS etc......
