Where are you?

I'm not sure of the key combos off the top of my head. I'm sure
someone else does though:
-Enter the Control Panel and change settings
-Do a machine self test CTRL-ClosedApple-Reset
-If you have a ROM3 then you can get the production crew to shout
"Apple II" at you

I think that these need to use the 3.5" controller card and can't plug
into the IIgs directly. Could be wrong though.
You can plug in a Disk ][ controller for 5.25" drives if you have one.
You'll really need a 3.5" drive to load System 6.0.1 and most other
IIgs specific software.
