Besides having 1mb memory on board instead of 256k,
whats the advantage of
the 03?

From what I understand, some of the new code in the ROM
03 is needed to
run some applications, and the GS/OS (the GUI OS for the GS as compared
to ProDOS)
I'm able to run System 6.0.1 (I assume this is what you're referring to as GS/OS)
on ROM 01 systems (I don't have a ROM 03 system, only ROM 01's and maybe a Woz).

Jup, GS/OS runs fine on all IIgs ... just a bit faster on a 03,
and more important, you get way more free memory, since the 03
has most of the updated Toolbox functions already in ROM, while
on a 00 or 01 they will be loaded into RAM ... and eat up a lot
of the rare resource.
