I have one of the early //gs prototypes. It originally was in a //e case
but the person I got it from gave it to me in a //gs case. It still has a
bug in the sound system as it emits this constant high-pitched shrill
which is quite annoying. It's been upgraded to the 01 ROM but I got the
original ROMs with it. The original ROMs are stored on three chips
mounted on this funky L-shaped board that plugs into the ROM socket.
I paid way too much for this at $300.
