Hmm. I also have a used Amiga 2000. Sounds like with the right cable I
could use the IIgs monitor with the Amiga?

Thanks for the info. I am missing any IIgs system software, but I have
an adb keyboard, mouse and an external Mac 800K floppy drive. I have
two Apple IIgs machines + monitors. I was considering selling them,
but it looks like fun if I can get them one of happening. They both
have a card in the memory expansion slot.
