Thanks for the plug, Ralph. 

In my few years experience with the IIgs, I find 
that with the cost of a replacement these days, 
repairs are for the only truly interested in the 
inner workings of the machine. So, for a ROM01, 
I would trade you a good motherboard for your bad 
one even up. That way you'll be up and running 
that much quicker and if the board is minimally 
damaged, I have a replacement. If not, they're 
cheap anyway. I get ROM01 IIgs lots from time to 
time for next to nothing. It's the ROM03 boards 
that are rare. Actually, other than just a few 
differences, I.E., multi-functional slots, more 
onboard ram, and larger ROM space, the ROM03 is 
not going to offer you much more than a ROM01, 
and, from some of the posts I've read of late, 
the ROM01 appears to be much more stable than 
the ROM03. Let me know what you want to do. :o)
