There were three versions of the Apple IIgs: ROM 00, ROM 01, and ROM 03.
ROM 00 and ROM 01 have the same hardware with a different ROM. The ROM 03
had different hardware (more memory on the motherboard, for example) and
you cannot convert an earlier version to a ROM 03.

A ROM 03 is considered the best if you are going to run GS/OS, the Apple
IIgs 16-bit native operating system. I am happy with my ROM 01 since I use
it like an 8-bit Apple IIe.
