Steven Weyhrich makes mention in his Apple II History that the Apple
II plus came standard with 48K RAM.  I know from what I saw that this
wasn't true until the later run II pluses in the 1981-1982 era.

This is also mentioned in Apple II History but again this didn't
happen until the later run II pluses that they remove the jumper
blocks.

See http://www.apple2history.org/history/ah06.html, 2nd paragraph.

Another feature of those late run Apple II pluses was the modification
to the keyboard that made reset a ctrl-reset to help prevent
accidental resets.  There was a switch that disabled this under the
keyboard.
