I had it so hey, why not? other cards are available as needed and, I also have a Laser 128 2 for 1 slot gizmo I can plug in and use to expand it. -Bart Keeper of the Network from Heck Sean Fahey wrote: >Ooops. > >For giggles and grins, describe your tricked out, best system(s).

Going back to the top, my main IIgs is absolutely maxed out. The only thing it needs is a larger hardisk (I have several, but they're too noisy) and something more interesting to replace the Quickie. Perhaps a AST Vision Plus Enhanced or LANceGS. Other from that, that's really about as far as you can upgrade the GS CPU box with existing add-ons.
