Apple II

Was reading the forums on Rich Dreher's website and he mentioned that he's planning on releasing a firmware update by the end of the year that will allow for folders on the CFFA3000! That's great as far as I'm concerned. That will allow me to take either my 2GB or 4GB flash drive and load them up with Apple II disk images to run on my GS. Thanks Rich!

I recently purchased a complete Apple IIe system from Ebay that was described as 100% working by the seller.

I was really only looking for a new Apple III Monitor to use as a replacement for the one I own and suspected of failing, but I spotted an auction that included an Apple IIe, 2 Disk II drives, a fan/power unit, and a Monitor III so I bid on the auction and won the entire package for what I considered a fairly low price. About $370 with shipping. It's an exact replica of what I already own, so a great backup was had.

I was wondering about the motherboard, which I think is 607-0187-E. It looks to have 2 64Kx4 RAM chips instead of the 8 chips. I guess it is a later version than what I have now, which is 820-0087-A 1984 607-0187. I was just wondering what are the differences, other than the number of RAM chips? Would I be better off to using the one I just bought if everything is OK, and using my original with the older MB as a spare, or for parts? I couldn't pass this one up, it showed up on ebay for $49 with free shipping (I hate that 'buy it now' button).

All,
Vince has placed several items on eBay including this GEM:
