Apple IIe Enhancement Kit

The Apple IIe Enhancement Kit: Dealer's Installation Instructions (Apple Computer, Inc., part number 030-1142-B) is the dealer document for the four-chip Enhanced IIe upgrade. It settles what the kit contained and which part numbers came out and went in.

What is in it

Position Removed Fitted
Microprocessor 6502, 370-6502 65C02, 338-6503

Character Generator ROM 342-0133 342-0265 (U.S.)

The character generator ROM is the one part that differs by country: 342-0273 (United Kingdom), 342-0274 (French), 342-0275 (German), 342-0276 (Italian), 342-0306 (Western French), 342-0307 (Western Spanish). The ROMs and the processor are the same for U.S. and European machines.

Figures 1 and 2 give the chip positions on the U.S. (NTSC) and European (PAL) main logic boards. The installation procedure includes Apple's warning that "it is very easy to accidentally pull up the socket along with the 6502", and the note that some existing programs will display MouseText characters where they previously displayed highlighted uppercase.
