we live as we dream. Alone.
Ive always had my eye on the Apple ii GS as its the best of the line and almost Amiga like in some ways.
The Apple ii GS was probably a result of the Amiga 1000 being launched which pretty much made every other computer look hopeless in its price range, so Apple quickly responded with the GS and promptly under clocked it so it could not compete with new mac.
WDC 65C816 running at 2.8 MHz or 1mhz for Apple II compatibility
24 bit addressing, using a 16-bit address bus & a multiplexed bank address
Memory
1.125 MB RAM built-in (256 KB in original) (expandable to 8.125 MB)
256 KB ROM built-in (128 KB in original)
Faults / Problems
The Apple Uni disk drive flashes the LED but doesnt spin so ive popped the Apple ii disk ii interface card and used my old disk ii to test the machine.
I have no disks for the GS but thats a project for later today..
