Uh,... be my guest. Be sure to post them to comp.binaries.apple2 when you are
finished. Don't forget to write GSOS while you are at it, it is only licensed
to you to run on Apple's computers so must clone it also. Shouldn't be more
than 512k of 65816 assembly code. No problem. Should have it done by christmas
right?

Ok, so I'm a little sarcastic today. Point is that if it were that easy it
would have been done (by Laser maybe).

On a related topic, This month's nibble included an ad from a company selling
various Apple II parts. Amongst the II+ and IIE bits ther was also GS stuff.
ROMs for ROM01 and the VGC chips. Can you see a high speed clone in your
future bunky?
