I consider my FF bank fairly sound so I'm diving back into those banks... more to come.

That's because the IIsi is NOT and NEVER WAS an Apple II.

The IIsi is a Macintosh. That is why it uses a 68K processor. It has
absolutely NOTHING to do with the Apple II in any way, shape or form.

Now, you might be thinking of a "prototype" Apple II machine which
never made it past the wooden case mockup that Frog design did that
they called a "IIsi." Some people apparently think that Apple was
planning a successor to the IIgs. Perhaps they were, but the Mark
Twain was not the "IIsi."

The Macintosh IIsi was released in October 1990. The IIgs was still
being produced and sold at that time.
