Re: Top-Notch Apple IIGS Setup?

["william strutts" <wrstrutts1@home.com>]

Why a ROM 1?  I was reading the FAQ's for this group
and it appears that a fully loaded GS would have more
problems with its motherboard due to wimpy power lines on
going to the slots. What software won't run on a ROM 3
that will run on a ROM 1?  I haven't run across any
software yet that won't run on my ROM 3 machine. I
would think the extra memory on the ROM 3 machine
would make up for any compatibility issues.
