That's absolutely correct. In fact, the info in the web page that Suz
mentioned, says so explicitly!

  "That isn't a factory unit per se -- it's a regular //e that has had a
GS upgrade kit
  installed; which included a ROM 01 motherboard and custom base pan,
plus a nifty
  IIGS logo sticker. All the tech did was pop out the //e logo and stick
the GS one in."
