Greetings,
I'm trying to decide whether or not I should swap out the motherboard
in my IIGS. It's currently a ROM 1 but I've got a ROM 3 motherboard
that I bought from Ebay. In fact I bought the motherboard before I
bought the IIGS, also from Ebay, thinking I might be able to upgrade
my IIe to a IIGS by installing the IIGS motherboard. Since the
motherboard turned out to be a ROM 3 that option went out the window.
So now my question is would it make sense to upgrade my IIGS with the
ROM 3 motherboard? What are the advantages and disadvantages? The fist
advantage that comes to my mind is the 1 meg of ram, and 256k ROM,
that are part of the ROM 3 board.
Any and all comments and advice from this community are more than
welcome.
Thanks in advance,
Dean
