My GS has been around since early 1988. I purchased the base system (CPU, Monitor, 3.5 Floppy and Imagewriter II) at Macy's department store. The whole package cost me about $1,800.00, but Apple was giving a $200.00 mail in rebate. It was a good price at the time! It replaced a //c that I bought at Cost Cutters, also as a package which included the dreaded green monitor, and the even more dreaded SCRIBE color printer! That whole package cost $699.00, which was a REAL steal.
As it sits on its own little desk, my GS has:
* ROM 01
* 4 Megs RAM
* 9 MHz ZIP accelerator
* Apple DMA SCSI with 330 Meg external SCSI Drive
* Dual High Desity (1.44) Floppies with the Apple HD controler card
* Computer Eyes GS
* Apple CD-300
* Apple SC-40 Tape Drive
* PC Transporter (remember those?)
I currently have the GS hooked up to an Appletalk Network, which is served by an SE/30. I also have a pentium clone thing that I put together, which is intermitantly on the Appletalk Network (via the Appletalk PC card from way back). I'll have to get you a picture of the whole mess!
