Got my GS, Need to identify specific parts



Ok,

Whilst on my quest for appleII stuff, I found a IIgs and several 3.5 disk
drives (of varying case sizes) in excellent condition. I don't have a
monitor or keyboard that fit the multipin socket. I did buy two other
keyboards at the time that have the same connector style, but they may be
mac keyboards. Inside the IIgs was a single card with a bunch of empty
sockets, and only a couple filled. The questions I have are:

What model numbers / dates / other info is on the bottom of a IIgs keyboard?

One of my keyboards has function keys like a PC, the other has a large
backspace? key at the top with nothing else on that row. Are these mac?

What models of apple/mac RGB monitors plug into the IIgs (other than the
standard II monitors) and can I use my TV adapter from my IIe? Will a
Supermac Monitor work? There's a -huge- one (25"+?) at the GW for $50 is it
worth it?

Can I find more of the chips that belong on that card inside the IIgs? (I'm
assuming it's a memory card)

Should I plug it in without the keyboard and will it even boot properly?

Since I haven't plugged it in yet, is there something I should look
for/watch out for on first startup that will tell me if it works?

Please post to the group.
Thanks in advance for your time.
