Does anyone know where to get IIGS enhancements? Specifically, the AE stuff like TransWarp GS and Vulcan HDs? Or any HD for the IIGS?

Well, eBay would be a good place to start, followed by Sun Remarketing, but those device are very hard to find. RAM and HD would be the easiest, as all you need for an HD and a CD-ROM drive is a SCSI card (Either Apple ][ HighSpeed SCSI card or Apple II SCSI card Rev. C). You can upgrade the RAM to 8MB and install a SuperDrive with an appropiate interface card.Brigadier MacScuzzy

What kind of HDs will work with GS/OS?

Over priced is an understatment!  Any SCSI drive will work with it (external that is). I also seem to remember seeing just recently an Internal hard drive solution, it was an IDE (or maybe SCSI?) hard drive mounted on the controller card its self. Kinda niftyBrigadier MacScuzzy

Ohhh, I didn't read the question right! Well, as I've said, there's generic drivers for SCSI HDs, Tape drives, and CDROM drives. Also, if the manufacures really dedicated, that might support the GS/OS for more uncommon stuff.Brigadier MacScuzzy

Oy! I just went to Sun Remarketing's website, and overpriced is not the righ word. Highway robbery, maybe. I know y'all said they were overpriced, but I can't find TransWarp GS anywhere... Fortunately, they didn't have one, or i'd be tempted no matter what the price...
