All IIe have most of the necessary circuitry built-in. You still need the
Auxiliary slot card though mostly for the 1 Kbyte of RAM necessary to
use 80 columns.
The small 2 inch x 3 inch Auxiliary slot cards will work just fine in any IIe.

It still contains a "solder pad" to cut for installation in an original Rev A.

The only reason the small card came out is the price of higher density RAM
got low enough that it became cheaper to produce the smaller card and it
had reached the point where Apple was selling the IIe with the extended
80 column card preinstalled
