Apple IIe Enhancement Kit: Technical Benefits
This article documents the benefits of the Apple IIe Enhancement Kit.
The Apple IIe Enhancement improves the performance of the Apple IIe by replacing four chips on the main circuit board.
The Enhancement has four major benefits:
1. Apple IIc compatibility:
Users can take advantage of software developed for the Apple IIc.
2. Product line consistency:
Apple II software can be used on both the Apple IIe and IIc.
3. The MouseText character set makes it easy for developers to create
software that uses pull-down menus, windows, and icons.
4. Easier programming for users:
a. Accepts BASIC commands in both upper- and lowercase
b. Additional instructions in the 65C02
c. Mini-assembler for machine language programs.
The Apple IIe Enhancement Kit, Order A2M2052, is available from Apple Authorized Dealers for users who wish to upgrade their systems.
