I remember seeing them advertised way back when. They were an external 
keyboard kit which worked by removing the keyboard from your Apple IIe, 
placing it in the keyboard enclosure provided, and then plugging the 
cable back in to the keyboard socket on the motherboard. They also came 
with a plate to cover the hole left on the front of the IIe case where 
the keyboard was removed.
