Here's my IIgs Setup:
Apple IIgs ROM 01, 4.25 MB RAM, internal 40 MB harddisk, Apple RGB
Monitor - nothing great so far.
Now for the unusual parts:
A self-made FBAS-2-RGB-converter allows me to use the monitor as a TV
set (with an old broken VCR being used as a TV tuner, thus providing the
FBAS input). I also built a videotext decoder, which is controlled by
the IIgs via the Gameport.
Furthermore, I've got an interface card, which allows to connect a 64kB
battery powered hot-swappable RAM-Disk. I made this thing about a decade
ago when there was no other way to exchange data with a friend of mine
who owned an Amiga 500 - for which he designed a similar interface.
