Re: Appreciating my Apple IIs

[Blake Patterson <blake@blakespot.com>]

I added a GeeThree ( http://www.geethree.com/ ) Stealth Serial Port to
my blue&white G3 400 Mac, which gave this Mac a 100% authentic,
oldschool serial port, through which I was able to establish an
AppleTalk (localtalk) connection between my IIgs and the Mac.  Quite
fine.

Setup = IIgs ROM 3 (in Woz case!) + 500MB Focus IDE drive + 4 MB RAM +
2x 3.5" + 1x 5.25" + SoundMeister stereo + System Saver IIgs
