   The Apple Enhanced //e has different ROMs and a CPU from the unenhanced
version.  

Chip         Unenhanced            Enhanced

CPU          6502                      65C02
CD ROM     341-0135              341-0304
EF ROM     341-0134               341-0303
VIDEO       341-0133               341-0265

  If you see a motherboard with only 2 RAM chips, instead of 8, it's enhanced. 
Not sure what applies to the PAL //e, so you'se on your own.

  Back in the olden days I use to sell a kit that I copied the Unenhanced ROMS
into the lower half of an EPROM, and the Enhanced into the upper half.  Add a
toggle switch and some wire, and I could toggle back and forth between the 2
ROM sets.  Good for back in the day when not all software was compatible with
the new ROMs.
