I plan on doing a video about this upgrade but haven't been able to
get a number (even ballpark) on how many IIGS upgrades were made
(official upgrades by Apple dealers with baseboard, logos, and serial
number).
The one I bought off ePay many moons ago is a ROM01. Also, I asked this
in FB too, but does anyone have an upgrade that works with the original
IIe case (the painted, II+ like case)? Mine only fits the later case.
I bought an upgrade kit from Sun Remarketing maybe 20 or so years ago. I
think the bottom plate was one they had made for them, not one that Apple
would've shipped; it's brushed aluminum, and has no serial-number sticker.
No replacement badges were provided, so my lid still says "Apple IIe." A
ROM 01 motherboard was included, with power-supply and keyboard connectors
installed. At some point, I added a connector to plug in an external
keypad. I doubt that mine is the only IIe upgraded in this manner,
especially since the kit cost only about half what Apple used to charge.
