    I thought about them as I wrote that post. The problem is they're so
incredibly rare and hard to find, it's almost not a variable. You could 
also add a 5 or 10 megabyte ProFile hardisk to the IIgs, but I wasn't
going to mention that either for obvious reasons. :)

    Were the Pro-Apple and Chinook compatible with the IIgs Smartport
and, in particular, GS/OS? Whether they are or aren't, I think it would 
be a waste on a IIgs when it's the _only_ hardisk option for the IIc.
