It's been years since I sold off the ZipGSX and went to a 486DX-40,
but lately I've been feeling a lot of nostalgia for the old Apple
IIgs. My GS still works after all these years, and I even bought a
couple more GS off ebay recently, just so I'd have backup :) Anyway,
I've been researching alternative displays as well, preferable LCD. I
found a discussion that referred to this device:

$92 for the box and another $10 for the cable. I'm kinda tempted to
buy it. Then again, I'd also like to support the UltimateApple2
effort, and wait for the GS to VGA converter. I may pick up the
IIe2VGA when it's available, my old Apple IIe still works too!
