    I have no clue as to what you mean by ][e and //e.  Just because we got the
//e in early 1983, doesn't mean it wasn't designed and built 12 to 18 months
before that.  I mean, I have a IIgs Prototype (in a //e case....) in storage
that has dates of May 1986 on it. The board is Copyrighted 1985.  The board is
blue, instead of green. Has a part number of 6XX-XXXX-XX.  It's kinda cool.  I
had 2 of them, but sold one to a guy in Japan.
