It remembers me how HARD is to find a IIGS here
in Brazil. Even a
motherboard would help.
BTW, anyone with a spare Ramworks II or Ramworks III? :o)
Or how about a 2e/2gs scsi controller? I just picked up a spare 2gs from ebay for the
princely sum of $8. lol
Some of them go for quite a bit though if they include all the
accessories.

Depends what you do on the IIgs. If you just want to play games or a few old
apps you can get by with a simple system, monitor, keyboard, dual 3.5" and
dual 5.25".
I have a Transwarp IIgs, 8mb RAM card, rev C SCSI card, and I mostly just
boot from floppy and play games. All the extras are nice if you use GS/OS
and want to transfer images and files around (and read HFS partitions or
network with a Mac), but if you have an old Mac you can make usable disks
there.
You can still find systems on freecycle if you post a wanted, they will most
likely be basic setups (teachers seem to snag them for their kids and then
get rid of them when the kids get older).
