Hello IIGSers,

BACKGROUND:

	My cousin-in-law, who is 12 years old, is the proud owner of a 
IIGS for the past three years or so.  The first year: it sat in a box.  
The second year: the power switch was turned on once or twice.  This 
year: I finally recommended some "good" software for him to use.

	I'm a Mac person, not a IIGS person, but I'm trying.

PROBLEMS:

	[1] I don't think he ever mailed in his registration/ownership
	card.  Does Apple send out free ROM upgrades?  (I know Apple 
	doesn't handout free anything, but ... :)

	[2] I've never looked inside the IIGS box, but what do I look
	for when I want to see what version ROM he has?  (I believe he
	has the original ROM v1.0 or something.)

	[3] I believe he has something called a "super serial card" which
	is used (I think) for the monitor.  Can someone shed light here?

	[4] How can I find out how much memory he has?  Is this related
	to the "super serial card?"  Does memory plug in like the Macs 
	do (ie. DIP SIMMS)?l

CLOSING:

	Thanks in advance!!!!
