The New Apple IIGS Computer: A Hands-on Look
From 1000bit.net comes this review by David D. Thornburg which originally appeared in Compute!, Vol. 4 Issue 4 Fall/Winter 1986. It begins:
"Apple's new IIGS computer is the latest—and strongest—addition to the company's "Apple II Forever" campaign. Completely compatible with earlier Apple IIs, the IIGS offers exceptional advances in both graphics and sound (hence, GS). With a new 16-bit microprocessor (see "The Brains Behind the Brains" in this issue), 256K of RAM, and plenty of peripheral ports, the IIGS redefines the Apple II series in some amazing ways—and IIe owners can easily upgrade their machines to the IIGS.
No wonder it's Apple cofounder Steve Wozniak's favorite machine. Steve's comments accompany this article. "
