Exactly. I've often wondered about my own IIe. It's quite old. It has
white-lettered keys and is unenhanced of course. I recall finding a
manufacture date stamped on the case, but I don't remember the exact date.
It was either early 1983 or late 1982. The case is II plus-style with the
black snaps at the back.

However, the power supply is suspiciously new. The motherboard is a revision
B.
