	v2 of the project started on January 21st, 2016. It was technically a collaborative project with UltimateMicro2 and ~~branded~~ under the UM ~~logo~~, and was the last before ReActiveMicro's full return back to the retro scene in mid-July 2016. The project was released for sale on March 10th, 2016.		v2 of the project started on January 21st, 2016.

	v2 of the adapter saw several improvements. A Dip Plug was used which solved the issue of "socket stretch". The ROM was also changed from a 27C1001 DIP to a N28F010 PLCC Flash ROM. This had an advantage of also letting users develop their own firmware, however none used the adapter for this. The unit was still hand assembled, which was a bit cumbersome due to the size of the PCB and parts. There also was the issue of blocking Slot 3 when using a ZIP-GSX or TransWarp GS.		v2 of the adapter saw several improvements. A Dip Plug was used which solved the issue of "socket stretch".

	Two projects came from this research. One adapter allows for use of a more standard ROM to replace the ROM on the IIgs motherboard. The other adapter allowed for reading the less common 531000 ROM. These adapters however were made from machined pin sockets which also lead to "socket stretch" of the IIgs motherboard socket when used. They also blocked Slot 3 when using a ZIP-GSX or TransWarp GS.		Two projects came from this research. One adapter allows for use of a more standard ROM to replace the ROM on the IIgs motherboard.

	The IIGS ROM1 Adapter converts a ~~ROM0~~ IIGS to a ROM1 by replacing the ROM on the motherboard. It allows an older Apple IIGS system to run newer software like GS/OS. It's user installable, and removable in case the IIGS needs to be downgraded. And unlike other solutions, this one does not block Slot 3 when using a ZIP-GSX or [[TransWarp GS]].
