Re: Getting an Apple IIGS ..

Congradulation, it seems the most difficult part of doing anything is
to convince wife.....

I too got an ][GS several weeks ago from Ebay, I too have problem with
identifying which ROM version those are on EBay, I just sent the
question to the sellers and ask them if they can turn it on, they can
see which ROM version it is. You can do the same thing.

Good luck.
