    Hmm, since Apple no longer offers the Apple IIgs ROM upgrade
(which is essential if you want to run GS/OS or 1988+ software),
would it be possible to offer a similiar sort of arrangement for
purchasing burned copies of the IIgs ROM?

    I know there are legal issues which prevent you from burning
copies of Apple's firmware onto EPROMs and selling it, but I'd
assume Steve got around it somehow--or asked Apple and they just
no longer mind (so long as he only charges for the EPROM and the
postage cost to ship it?).
