Apple IIGS: developers publish unofficial OS update

The Apple IIGS was the last computer the California manufacturer, which was still conceived by-founder Steve Wozniak , He decreed as the two years previously published Macintosh, via a graphical user interface, but that was colored when Apple IIGS, while the Mac still monochrome came along. For this he was noticeably slower than the first Mac.

The last official operating system version for the computer system was 6.0.1. She appeared in 1993. Nevertheless, there are still avid fans of IIgs. And who after 22 years well enough by some fixed bugs and never the thing itself have accepted. The result: the unofficial system 6.0.2 update
