Re: Apple iie with switch under case?

A seed machine?

What do you mean by that?

The case itself is about half an inch wider than my other //e.  The switch
underneath looks like it was manufactured to be put there and not
customized.  The keyboard itself has some other characters on it that are
European looking, however, the ][e itself was purchased from Canada.

I'll have to take some pictures and post them when I get a chance.

I still really baffled by it.
