Just revived my IIgs!



Just wanted to say that I got my IIgs off the shelf and powered up after 
about 3 years of non-use.   It's a ROM 3 in a "Woz" case with 5248K RAM, 
100 meg hard drive divided into 4 partitions (32, 32, 32, 4) attached to 
a CMS 2.0 SCSI controller, System 6.0.1 and ProDOS with loads of 
software, a PC Transporter running on a 16 meg MS-DOS hard drive volume 
on the SCSI drive, 2 3.5" Apple drives and a 5.25" Dual Drive running on 
a card in slot 6.   I have a couple of PC drives that used to be 
connected to the PCT, but I haven't found them yet.

Everything is working fine, and the date and time is still correct.

What got me interested again was downloading the Pocket //e emulator 
that's running just fine on my iPaq Pocket PC.    I already have loads 
of .DSK images from my ApplePC and AppleWin emulators, so software is no 
problem.    Pocket //e is actually pretty cool, but there's nothing like 
the real thing.

I may get really ambitious in the next few days and break out my 
Platinum //e with 2 Dual Drives (4 drives), and go crazy with that.

I always forget how cool these machines were.
