Apple ][ Gs
« on: 11 January 2003, 17:29 »
I was just reminescing (sp?) about my first *real* PC I ever had in my life, and was just wondering if anyone else had one of these boxes. From what I remember, they were "the poor man's Mac" back in the day, and they had a kick-ass sound chip at the time. They didn't have a Hard Drive, and the CD-ROM support was kind of limited. Decent graphics though. I remember playing this game called Tass Times in Tonetown when I was a kid.

Anyone know anything about these things? I am interested to know what OS they came with, and/or if anyone tweaked one of these boxes to do some cool stuff.  I saw one on E-Bay for $.02 yesterday, and I am wondering if I should splurge to relive some memories.

The IIgs was a great piece of hardware, especially the Woz edition.

I've got a II GS sitting in the guest room; I got it off eBay a couple of years ago.  It can run the Apple II family of OS's (DOS 3.3, ProDOS) and GS-OS, which is, if I'm not mistaken, something between ProDOS and early Mac OS (though more like ProDOS).  I regret to say I haven't really played with it nearly as much as I'd like to have, though.

Thank you...

I was very young when I had the ][GS, but I remember running a few commmands....actually, only one command.  If you had to launch something, you had to BRUN [FILE]. Not sure what OS that is, though.

I do remember one thing, we had the 'Woz' signed "limited edition" ][GS.  My dad took the original back to wherever he bought it from, claimed it was "broke" then we had the 'Woz.'
