...Interested yes. But I need more RAM for some. Do you have any suggestions
for anythin useful or fun? I really want to give the IIgs a good test
drive.

I thought I'd give some games a try. I've tried putting a few from
http://www.whatisthe2gs.apple2.org.za/the_fairway/
on to disk. None have worked for me so far. Each one fails to boot for a
different reason. I suspect the floppies I'm using. The floppies format and
verify correctly in prodos though.
I've tried one game on a few disks so far to try to narrow down the
problem. "Bubble Ghost".
I'm going to try some other single disk games to try to pin what's
happening.
Nothing has changed between when I wrote the GS/OS disks and the game disks.
