 As mentioned previously on this list, I have a version 1.0 ROM in my IIgs.
...
  What is the "best" version?  Are they for
sale or for download to burn my
 own? 
There were three versions of the Apple IIgs: ROM 00, ROM 01, and ROM 03.
ROM 00 and ROM 01 have the same hardware with a different ROM.  The ROM 03
had different hardware (more memory on the motherboard, for example) and
you cannot convert an earlier version to a ROM 03.
A ROM 03 is considered the best if you are going to run GS/OS, the Apple
IIgs 16-bit native operating system.  I am happy with my ROM 01 since I use
it like an 8-bit Apple IIe.
