I've been thinking for a while now that I'd like to obtain a decent IIgs system. The Apple II series was popular when I was in middle school. At that time, I was chugging away on my TI99/4a or my Commodore 64. As a result I'm not versed in the various options I'm finding online.
For instance, I see references to ROM 01, 02 and 03. What is the difference? Should I look for one ROM over another?
I'm likely going to find a machine with both a 3.5" and a 5.25" drive. As I understand it, the IIgs is backwards compatible with the rest of the Apple II family. Don't really care too much about a printer, but definitely would like to find an original monitor to complete the set.
What is a good baseline for the amount of RAM? I'm just going to play around with it, maybe play some games, DOS 3.3, ProDOS, etc.
Is there anything else I need to consider?
Thanks for any guidance!
