depended on it...) that Apple made it's earlier IIGS prototypes inside of

It's not a
conversion or anything, it's original from Apple. It looks
exactly like a IIe except for the model emblem and the back panel.
As someone already pointed out, you have an official Apple product, a //e-
to-//gs upgrade. When we got our family //e, I had fantasies about that
upgrade, but we never got it (and I guess VERY few other people did
I seem to remember the list price as around $800. $864? Something like
that.
Do you have the normal //e-size monitor? That would be an advantage over
the
stock //gs. Do you also have the same //e keyboard?
Has it been converted
to
use ADB? I always liked the feel of the //e's
keyboard better than the
//gs'
little keyboard. But if the upgrade's keyboard
isn't modular like the
regular
//gs, that would be a disadvantage in some ways.
