When the IIgs was first released, Apple also had a IIgs upgrade kit for a 
few hundred dollars less.  
It had the motherboard, base backplate, and labeling.  It would have been 
handy for shcools, etc. that wanted to retain the enclosed keyboard design 
and/or had security cases that fit the //e case style.
