realized it was the same footprint. In that case, this probably is
the best way for me to go. Plus I think I can easily get to at least one of
my //gs's. The doc's, and the box of stuff for it will no doubt be more
interesting...
It isn't *exactly* the same footprint.
The IIgs takes up the same amount of space for the computer as the IIc
does. However, with the IIc you get the floppy drive and keyboard in that
same space. The IIgs has external floppy and keyboard.
Ok, but you can always put the drives on top of the //gs, or get an
internal hard drive (like one of mine :)
There are now CF adapters and IDE interfaces available for the Apple ][.
You can always get one of the IDE interfaces and install an internal HD
for relatively cheap (I don't think either interface is over $100).
