I am also interested in >purchasing a ZIP GS chip accelerator if you have one for sale >email me. To upgrade from a ROM 01 to a ROM 03 requires a motherboard swap. Most A2 resellers (Alltech, Sun, Shreve) should have this available. The Zip GS accelerator card can still be purchased new. Try Alltech, Quality, Other World Computing and now EGO Systems (publisher of GS+ magazine). Of course it can be purchased used off the net. >Also Wanted an Apple 1.44 drive and controller for a IIgs >that allows reading and writing of PC, Mac, and Gs 1.44 >disks. I am not sure about where to find the Apple SuperDrive (right?) and controller. Try the resellers. Alltech's latest ad shows it has the drive. Here's another option: ///SHH Systeme's BlueDisk card. This card allows PC style disk drives (double, high and extra density, 5.25 or 3.5, any combination) to be connected to the IIgs. >GS specific software such as Games and Word Perfect for the >IIGS Word Perfect IIe and GS are no longer commercially available. WP Corp stopped supporting the II line a while ago. For other IIgs software try Quality, Other World Computing, the Big Red Computer Club and the developers themselves.
