I got two desktops off wuarchive or Umich.
one is for a 2e,2c and so on. the other is for the gs but runs in the
ApplePC emu. It does not exit correctly but works.
I should say they both work in the Emu.
ones called desktopII and the others called desktop GS. in the Gui
folder is all I can remember .

hope it's what your looking for
