015- I recently picked up a spare GS from a flea market
and would like to convert it into a portable. Has anyone
done this?
Yes. Tony Diaz has an article describing a couple conversions on his web
site at http://www.apple2.org/AppleIIgsPortables.html .

016- Where can I get Robot kits to use with my Apple II?
If you have a an RS-232 interface (2400 or 9600bps) you might consider a
kit from Lynxmotion ( http://www.lynxmotion.com ). They sell various robot and
robotic arm kits that utilize hobby R/C servo motors. Scott Edwards Electronics
and several other companies sell devices that allow you to control up to 8
servos per board.
You'll have to write all of the software yourself (sending commands to
identify a servo and a position value).

A good source of current information on robot making, Parallax BASIC stamp
programming, and related projects is Nuts & Volts Magazine (800-783- 4624;

A good on-line resource for BASIC Stamp components and info is the BSS Club

017- Where can I get the "Zip" package chips to expand my
AE GS-RAM III memory Expansion card to 4MB?
The Applied Engineering GS-RAM III uses 20-pin "Zip" package 1M x 4 DRAMs
(NEC D424400V-80 or OKI H5144024-70). A few other Apple II memory cards also use
relatively rare Zip package RAM.
As of November 2002, you could find the NEC chip at Spi Semiconductor (818-
884-8000; http://www.spisemi.com/index.html ). Search for 424400. For other
suppliers, a fairly good try is a current issue of Computer Shopper magazine.
Whenever you order these memory IC's, be sure to confirm that the chips
are, in fact, in the Zip package.
