Re: Apple IIgs 200w Power Supply

["Henry" <apl2research@comcast.net>]

Hey Brad.

Yes, a II/+/e version of the power supply will be released shortly - 
possibly even this week.  I'll post a notice here in the News Groups as soon 
as it is tested and finished.

I know what you mean about "kids today".  Being the second youngest "kid" I 
know of who hangs out here, I can remember adding a System Saver to my old 
IIe and people thinking I was "wild and crazy".  Now if you're not 
converting a IIgs in to a time machine for use in a NASA program no one 
batts an eye.  Funny how things change.
