Main Apple IIGS (ROM 3), "Woz" cover, 8 MB RAM
-----
Slot 1: Second Sight
Slot 2: AE Audio Animator
Slot 3: ZipGS 15/64
Slot 4: Quickie-scanner interface
Slot 5: Apple Video Overlay Card
Slot 6: Apple II 3.5 Disk Controller Card (SuperDrive)
Slot 7: RamFast SCSI with 1 MB
RAM Slot: 7 MB Sequential RAM GS Plus
Internal hardisk: Econ Pegasus with 240 MB SCSI HD

As a nice touch, I rigged it so when the internal hardisk is in 
use, the IIgs's front power LED blinks from green to amber. 

Also worth mention: Apple CD-300e Plus, 2 GB tape-drive,
IOmega Zip-100 drive, Altec Lansing ACS-33 speakers 
with sub-woofer, System Saver IIgs and Mach III joystick.


Backup Apple IIGS (ROM 3), 5 MB RAM

Slot 1: AE PC-Transporter with 8087 Math-co 
Slot 2: Econ SoundMeister
Slot 3: ZipGS 9/32
Slot 4: ComputerEyes GS
Slot 5: --
Slot 6: Apple II 3.5 Disk Controller Card (SuperDrive) 
Slot 7: RamFAST SCSI with 256K
RAM Slot: 4 MB Sequential RAM GS


Main Apple IIe (Enhanced)
-----
Slot 1: Apple II Memory Expansion Card with 1 MB
Slot 2: Apple Super Serial Card 
Slot 3: Titan 3.5 MHz accelerator
Slot 4: Apple II Mouse Interface 
Slot 5: AE Phasor sound card 
Slot 6: Apple 5.25 controller 
Slot 7: AE TimeMaster II H.O. clock card 
Aux slot: 512K Microcomm Mega RAM 80 
Microcomm heavy-duty powersupply

Reminds me, I've been planning to swap the SSC and replace it with either
an Apple HS or RamFAST-C (I have a couple sitting around and HD's).

Going back to the top, my main IIgs is absolutely maxed out. The only 
thing it needs is a larger hardisk (I have several, but they're too noisy)
and something more interesting to replace the Quickie. Perhaps a 
AST Vision Plus Enhanced or LANceGS. Other from that, that's really
about as far as you can upgrade the GS CPU box with existing add-ons.
