Re: My Apple IIGS is back

Hi all - miracle happened today! After 10 years of not working,
sitting idle on a table far away from me, today I switch on my old pal
for the first time - and it switch ON!

Yes, it is back alive! This computer is bought in 1988 (I bought 2nd
hand from the original owner in 1990) and 20 years later - it is back.
I can't describe how exciting I am, but I am taking some photos.

I really regret I throw away the disk drives, and I don't have the
proper SCSI cable to connect back my harddisk (it might still work).
So now I don't have a monitor, no drive, but my pal is still alive.

PS: I think it is the monitor - I never suspect it is the monitor.
Yesterday when I take the system back to Singapore, I switch ON the
monitor and it gives a loud hissing sound. So I disconnect it. Then
today I just test my GS without the monitor, and then it works.
