I fully agree that you need more RAM to make the IIGS usable, more then a IIe. I have thought about buying one of your cards Bill, I have 3 MB and thought about upgrading it to 4 (I cannot find the chips to put in my card to make it a 4 MB, it is a applied engineering card if anyone want to give me pointers where to get the 2 chips needed.), is there enough benefit to go from 3MB to 4MB to justify the expense.

Make sense? : : Because he may not need a 4 MB card for what he is interested in. : Look, I remember being under pressure from the folks on csa2 to : spend the money and get a good IIgs.

Even that tends to be run under KEGS. It : is a great IIe on the other hand, which doesn't really need the : memory card. I also hear that there are a few IIgs games, and : those tend to work with limited resources too. Even only running 8-bit software, the 4 MB ram comes in handy, when copying 800K disks. One pass, and done. If you wanted a IIe, why not just have a IIe, right Howard? The reason there isn't much for the IIgs is that people like you are satisfied with running as a IIe. It's those people like yourself who don't support it that makes it so.
