looks like a regular Platinum at first, but wait...
there is an Apple 3.5 Drive (OK maybe he's got a 3.5 controller in it)...
but a GS Mouse ? and the GSOS desktop...

for the photos I put the Focus card inside out of sight, but I'm going to
put a CFFA card in it when Rich does his next run. Either that or set up the
Appleshare boot from my Mac, that I have yet to master.

note the small notch cut into the lid to allow for the top of the GS RAM
Ultra. before I cut the notch the lid did fit, but the motherboard was
flexing under the weight. this is probably only needed for the RAM slot as
the normal slots are at the back and the cards would most likely sit on a
slight downward incline if they were close to the ridge in the lid.
