Actually, there WERE prototype Apple IIgs computers in IIe cases. The
one I saw had the name "Copeland" on the top where the Apple //e name
would normally be. (Or was that "Copland"?) Anyway, Mike Westerfield
brought it to a club meeting years ago -- he was developing software
for the new IIgs and got it from Apple. There were probably several of
these prototypes; maybe Mike could give us a good guess as to how many.

I have only seen two IIgs-in-a-IIe-case machines; the other one is my
first Apple IIgs, made from a kit I bought from Shreve Systems back in
January 1993 for $259 and installed in a $100 IIe that I got from a
disgusted student who wanted to browse the web and couldn't....
