Just find an old 286 PC.  The chips needed are 41256 chips
available at http://www.allelec.com/ if you don't have an
old PC to cannibalize.

Note that the Apple card maxes out at 1MB and a IIGS
is really recommended to have at least 4MB to run all
software and do productive things with, such as play
Wolfenstein 3D (that Doom like game).

A better alternative http://www.allelec.com/ Alltech
Electronics sells the Sirius RAM card.  They just
revised their web site so it may not be there, but just
call them or email them and ask for it by name.  It can
take 0-8MB using 1MB 30-pin SIMMs you can find
from old Macs and 386 PC units.  With it, you can
easily push the IIGS to 4MB or even 8MB.
