MOTHERBOARD EXPLAINED The Apple IIe board represents a major hardware improvement, compared to previous Apple II boards. Two specialized chips replace more than 60 circuits, and an additional slot makes it easier to upgrade the user RAM to 128 Kb. **(1)** Composite video Output for B&W monitor.\ **(2)** Auxiliary video connector.\ **(3)** Joystick connector.\ **(4)** Chipset in charge of input-outputs, called IOU .\ **(5)** Keyboard connector.\ **(6)** Mouse connector.\ **(7)** ROM memory holding the keyboard character generator. This circuit is specific to each country and keyboard.\ **(8)** ROM memory holding the display character generator.\ **(9)** 64 KB user RAM memory.\ **(10)** Additional expansion connector linked to port 3. Specific to APPLE IIe and intended for the 64 KB expansion memory card.\ **(11)** Integrated loudspeaker connector.\ **(12)** 8-bit 6502 microprocessor.\ **(13)** Specialised chipset called MMU, in charge of the user RAM and 80-column mode management.\ **(14)** Power supply connector.\ **(15)** Expansion card slot Nr. 1, generally reserved for the printer.\ **(16)** Expansion card slot Nr. 7, generally reserved for video cards.\ **(17)** Analog input connector, generally reserved for Apple or compatible joysticks.\ **(18)** Tape recorder (data input) socket.\ **(19)** Tape recorder (data output) socket. /media/museum/photos/apple_2e_motherboard_1.jpg

THE APPLE II EMULATION CARD FOR MACINTOSH LC /media/museum/photos/ct2lc2.jpg
title subtitle text image
THE MACINTOSH LC EMULATING THE APPLE IIE Shortly after Apple stopped the production of the Apple IIe, they replaced it with the Macintosh LC as a "home" computer. To use Apple IIe software on the Mac LC, Apple developed a small Apple IIe emulation card (left photo). In the right photo, you can see Apple IIe software running on the Mac LC. /media/museum/photos/ct2lc1.jpg

IIGS UPGRADE #1 When the Apple IIgs was first launched, Apple offered for a short time an upgrade kit allowing Apple IIe owners to convert their system to a IIgs version while keeping the same case. The kit included a new base designed to match the IIgs motherboard, an external numeric keypad and a label kit for the case lid. /media/museum/photos/apple_2e_gs_motherboard_1.jpg

DYNATYPER Here is the sale brochure of the Dynatyper, a strange and obscure printing device launched in 1980: Dynatyper is a new typewriter interface system designed to generate hard copy directly from computer output through any electric typewriter. It exploits the high quality and use of full upper and lower case characters of your electric typewriter. Users of small computer systems can now expand those systems into applications demanding high quality text, such as word processing. Consisting of an array of coils positioned in the same pattern as the typewriter's keyboard. These coils are wired into an electrical decoding matrix. Designed to operate on voltage available from standard computers, the Dynatyper is easily installed without modification to your typewriter. Adjustments for different key heights are easy. Rochester Data provides interfaces and software for the **TRS-80 Level 1 & 2**, the **Apple II** and also a 6 bit **parallel interface** for general operation with other computers. The same interface board can be modified by jumper selection to eperate in any of the above modes... Thanks to **Bob Leedom** for information and pictures /media/museum/hardware/apple_ii%2B_dinatyper_1.jpg

After having sold more than 750,000 Apple II and II+ systems, making it one of the best-selling brands in the global computing market, Apple released an updated version of the II+, the Apple IIe ('e' standing for enhanced).

It also met with very great success and was widely used in schools (still in use nowadays in some places!).

While retaining the previous model's capabilities and software library, the enhanced version featured a revised logic board, keyboard and case design. Since its launch back in 1977, the Apple had been revised 13 times, but never so drastically as with this model. The IIe used only 1/4 as many integrated circuits as the II+. Its keyboard featured 4 cursor keys and a lockable lid.

It was originally delivered with DOS 3.3 (the Apple II operating system) and later with PRODOS. The Apple IIe borrowed some features from the Apple III, 80-column text and lowercase support.

The Apple IIe was replaced with the enhanced Apple IIe in 1985, which had 128k RAM, 32k ROM, improved support for 80-column text and lowercase characters, and was powered by the 65C02 CPU, the same as the Apple IIc one.

Finally in 1987, Apple released the Apple IIe Platinum, also called Extended Keyboard IIe, which had a new keyboard and other minor hardware changes.
