For example, Out of this World reads ADB directly and thus doesn't
work without an ADB keyboard. I use both the //e and ADB keyboard regularly..

Plus,
- Some //es, most likely the Rev A //es, have too small of a case for the
GS motherboard. Way back when, the dealer tried to charge us $100 for the
new case, and we found out from Apple that the new case was free. Who knows
what the situation is nowadays, but it might be worth your time to make
sure the GS motherboard will fit in your particular //e.
