Re: Couple of Apple IIGS questions

["Bill Garber" <willy46pa@comcast.net>]

The answer to 4, if you need a RGB cable for IIgs is,
I will sell you one for $10 + $3 s&h. I assume somewhere
in the US, correct?

If no one knows number 5, I have the GS/OS 6 manual and
I can see if there is a few page with them and scan them for you.
Let you know tomorrow evening.
