[comp.sys.apple] New GS - ROM 03

JCKASPER@MTUS5.BITNET ("John C. Kasperski ", Otherwise known as Jc) (10/22/89)

A few messages ago, someone commented that the new GS ROM 03 machine
came with 1 meg. of memory on the main motherboard.  Is this correct?
If it is, is there any upgrade plan for those who have an "old" GS ?

Humm, what planet have you been on lately?  (Sorry, but I couldn't help
myself...).  

Yep, it's got 1 meg+ on the motherboard, and a few other nifty features. Nope,
you can't upgrade it, because Apple doesn't think the improvements are worthy
of an upgrade.  Actually, I don't either...  Memory's cheap now, so save your
bucks, and buy a Transwarp GS instead.

If you missed the ROM 03 news, you might like to check out System 5.0.2...

ps. I have heard tales of people paying $200 and swapping their old fried
motherboard for new ROM 03 one's, though... plus the cost of the the
motherboard (something like a total of $480).
