I now own an Apple //e filled to the brink with peripherals.  In fact,
I have to swap peripherals to get other extra peripherals into the
machine when I need them.  They include clock, modem, super serial card,
Mockingboard, CP/M card, disk drive, printer.

I am set on purchasing a //GS pretty much and was interested in knowing
the compatibility of the CP/M card, printer card (which I am sure will
work.. but I would also like to know if there is a parallel interface built
into the //GS and what other interfaces come with it.

The clock and Mockingboard will become obsolete obviously.

The modem I could still use, since it is a Micromodem II (the first ones
that came out!)

The disk drives will also work if I decide to keep them.

What other help about current peripherals or future expansion of a //GS
can you give?

If I upgrade my //e to a //GS will I get to keep the motherboard (seriously
doubt it) and what else will I need to buy (disk drives (3.5"), mouse, etc)


I also have a composite color monitor by BMC.  Will IT work properly
with the //GS?

Any info comments etc would be appreciated.
