If Mr. Tsetse was talking about the same store I was thinking of, I've
come to the conclusion that the "wall of GS's" was used at a video
rental chain in the Pacific Northwest.  At least, that's what the
burn-in on the wall of monitors leads me to believe.

The SCSI cards all look to be Rev A.  Are these upgradable to Rev C?

Hmph.  Having neither a IIgs or a enhanced/expanded IIe, I'm not
qualified to comment on this.
