FYI, there are two modes in the original IIgs that you can set from the
control panel; one is a compatibility mode that runs at 1 MHz, the other
a 2.8 MHz accelerated mode that sometimes caused problems with peripheral
timings. You can get accelerator cards that run much faster, but they
don't muck with the bus speed. I don't remember the serial ports
behaving any better in the accelerated mode, though; and Appletalk
worked even in the "slow" mode.
