I thought it might be fun to see how many Apple IIGS users lurk on this forum. I'm sharing my setup, which consists of:
Woz edition Apple IIGS (purchased new in the fall of 1987), upgraded to ROM 1
2 working 3.5" floppy drives (800K) and one faux floppy (case only - on top)
TurboIDE card (hard drive using SD card)
ZipGS 8MHz 32K cache (side note: Where can I buy more cache to bump it up to 64K?)
VidHD video card
Uthernet II card
4MB RAM (Garrett's Workshop)
Two USB fans keep the computer cool (my SystemSaver IIGS died after 30+ years of stalwart service)
Additionally, I have an old 80MB Power drive (shown in photo) which powers on but the drive appears to be gummed up.
The IIGS is hooked up to an HP display. The IIGS on the bottom was purchased secondhand and I've added my SecondSight VGA card (which works) to run it on occasion.
I'm running GS/OS 6.0.4 with custom system icons and fonts, courtesy of fatdog. My FloppyEMU has come in handy for transferring files over from .2MG format. I primarily use my Apple IIGS for playing games and playing audio files (Soundsmith). I'd love to be able to connect it to my classic Macs via Appletalk but not sure what extensions / additions I'll need on the IIGS side to make that happen.
