Apple IIgsThis is the newest member of my Apple II collection. I purchased this Apple IIgs a couple of days ago at a swap meet for $25. It was in a Macintosh Performa box, which we decided to open up to have a look at. When it turned out to be a IIgs, I bought it.

The specs: It's a ROM 01 IIgs with 1.25 Megs of RAM. No accelerator card means it runs at 2.8 MHz. It came with a Kensington System Saver and AppleWorks GS.

The beautiful thing about it all is that the next day Briel Computers started offering a 4 Megabyte RAM expansion card. Between this and the MicroDrive/Turbo, I'm going to have a nifty setup. Unfortunately Wolfenstein 3D will run relatively slowly without an accelerator card, but those seem to be few and far between...
