I meant no harsh accusations or whatnot anyway, either. I'm sure those
NDA's were 'violated' with good intentions a number of times.
Especially in these types of similar timelines. But leaks are .. a
part of the game. No question.

On that IIc Plus that Warren used, if you had opened it and taken the
power supply up off the board you should have seen "PIZZA BOX" on the
motherboard and a gold topped CPU, with the Zip Tech ASIC in a socket.

I'm glad that someone didn't get screwed on this auction, OTOH.. for
$700 I can't say I'd be tempted to sell what amounts to a ROM board in
a protective package. The rest of that machine is just a stock IIgs as
far as I am concerned.

Even with the lack of sticker and FCC metal. Why? Because you and I
can make that same piece of plastic. So unless the timestamp inside
proves it was made ahead of the GM date...
