Would it still work okay for games? I looked at the pics of the IIGS
screen on the PSOne LCD and it looked pretty good. Ever since the IIc
first came out I've thought it needed a really good small LCD to make
it a truly porrtable system and this looked to me like it might work.
I knew there were people here who knew the technical aspects of the
Apple II line better than I do, so that's why I threw the question out
there.

Thanks for the help,
