No, I don't think you understood me at all.  I would never exclude the
IIgs from the general "Apple II".  If I meant that you needed an
original Apple ][ (circa 1977), I would have explicitly said so.

In the case of Hubert Green's original posting, it was not at all clear
that he had any kind of Apple II, just that he wanted to transfer files
to a PC, and had heard that a PC Transporter would help with this.  (He
might have just had a PC and some disks, for example.)

(I have a IIgs and a PC Transporter, by the way.)
