Except it is a ROM 0 --> ROM 1 IIGS that does not have the connectors.  My
question is why some ROM 0/1 GS's have the connector and some don't.  Was
it a supported feature of the ROM 0/1 GS or not?  Or was it a vestige of
the GS upgrade for the //e's?  And, is there any advantage/disadvantage to
using the GS power supply connector over the //e connector?  Why did Apple
bother to include both?  (I guess I have more than one question there ;)
