Yes there is one reason. Most people are asking for ROM 3 IIgs's.
I attempt to explain that ROM 1 is more reliable and that although
the extra onboard ram of 1 mb is nice, and that having a few slots
that can be used dually and and also that AppleTalk is not tying up
slots 1 and 7, they still want the ROM 3. Ok, wait a sec, why are
ROM 1 better than ROM 3 again? ;-)
