My modernized Apple IIgs system - CFFA 3000, Transwarp GS, and Uthernet Card

This is a gadget warehouse submission for the Weekly Daily Gizwiz with Leo Laporte and Dick DeBartolo. This was a computer I spent a lot of time with as a kid, and was the first device I ever took "online" - although online back in its day was GEnie and BBS systems.

What's unique about this particular machine is some of the hardware I recently installed in it to make it how I always wanted it to be. I dramatically expanded the RAM, found a Transwarp GS accelerator that brings it up to a whopping 14 mhz, and even added ethernet!

The most unique feature is a brand new CFFA 3000 card that allows the IIgs to work with compact flash cards and USB sticks. Disk "images" can be downloaded, copied to a USB stick, and the GS can boot right off of them. Real floppies can also be written to flash memory. In fact the computer thinks it's just another floppy on the system!
