I have a Rom 1 GS with monitor, 3.5 floppy drive, mouse, keyboard, and
Imagewriter // printer you could have for shipping. I could even throw
in a memory expansion card, though it's not fully populated. The only
thing wrong with the setup is that one of the arrow keys on the
keyboard isn't working, but I'm sure you could find a way to fix it in
the FAQ. If you're interested, email me at rbg at penn dot com, and
I'll see what I can do for you.
