The only way to make it worse is to run Windows. IIRC, 3.0 will actually run on a V30 if it has graphics. (Not MDA obviously.)

This is wrong on a deep and visceral level.

Is this a stealth iigs? Only way I can imagine it working.
Compgeke@reddit (OP)
This one is. I don't have the correct top case badge, but it is a legit Stealth IIgs.

What's that sitting above the 3.5" drive?

Huh? Care to elaborate?

This machine's got an Applied Engineering PC Transporter in it. NEC V30 PC on an Apple II expansion card more or less.

Ahh Applied Engineering. I hadn’t thought of that in ages. I had their Sonic Blaster in my IIgs, and I really wanted their TransWarp GS and memory card combo back in the day.

You forgot welding Vader's mask to the breadboard. ;0)

The Tandy 1000 was, I think, an attempt by Tandy to get into the education market. You could even buy an Apple II on a card. I'm thinking they whiffed when they didn't Diamond to build a version that would work on the EX/HX, but to be fair those machines had a weird style of expansion card.

IF MY QUADLINK WORKED. I've got a Quadram Quadlink here, but it won't even attempt to read disks. Need to figure out what's up with the floppy passthrough on it.
morganstern@reddit
what's that mouse doing there
Compgeke@reddit (OP)
Apple IIgs upgrade machine. It's got native ADB on board, and mouse works under the PC side.
