I'm not sure how to discern the differences.  It's not the plus,
serial number in the 128,500s.  He's got an interlace mod in it, and I
did have to dismantle and reseat all the connectors and chips to 1)
make it boot reliably, and 2) get all the keys to work.  It shipped
with 256k.  The power supply has an unusually loud hum to it.  And a
lot of noise coming out of the speaker - it sounds like a ROM01 GS
running GSOS. :-)
