Re: Need Help on a 2GS Woz box

["Jason Whorton" <Please Reply To Newsgroup>]

Hi.  You have an Apple II model.  It is different from a Macintosh.  All
of the System x.x.x stuff doesn't apply to a IIgs.  You do not have an
Apple Mac IIGS, it is an Apple IIGS.  It is not like a Mac II, IIci,
IIcx, IIvx, etc.

Hope this helps clear some confusion you have,
Jason Whorton

Thanks to All who responded to my post. I have located the disk drives
and keyboad that I need. I'm wondering about system software. I can
get either ver. 5.0.4 or ver. 6.1 for the 2GS. The Woz Box that I have
is running Rom 01. I have 1 Mb of ram installed. Which system will be
best for me?

While all this is ongoing with the 2GS, I inherited a Macintosh plus
complete with a old Caledonian HD that has a fan that would wake the
dead. Its at least a 50 megger. The Mac is running System 6.0.7 os.
Will the 2GS run that system?

Thanks again for your help.
Kenny
