In front of you are 2 Apple IIGS computers.
System A
The first one is a ROM 3, with a 6MB AE GS-RAM and 2MB expander installed in a RAMKeeper. There is also a 4MB AE GS-RAM III installed as a ROM drive. Slot 1 is empty, but the rest of the slots are stocked with a Datalink 2400, TranswarpGS 12.5MHz/32K cache, Sonic Blaster, 2 AE 3.5 drives, PCTransporter with 720/360K drives and a Vulcan Gold 40MB HD. The monitor is a 20" Sony multisync sitting on an AE Conserver. Yeah, it's all AE.
System B
The second IIGS is also a ROM 3 but with only a 4MB Sequential Systems card. Starting in Slot 1, the machine has an Uthernet, SecondSight, ZipGS 10/64, Soundmeister, SuperDrive controller, CFFA3000 and finally a RAMFast SCSI card with CD-ROM, ~2GB on tap. The monitor is a standard Apple RGB on a Kensington System Saver.
In this Iron IIGS battle, only one can reign supreme and stay on the desk; the other gets put into storage. Which one should it be?
