   As far as the Apple I, they made several hundred, but many were sent back to
Apple for trade in towards an Apple II.

    Yes, when I worked for an Apple dealer in 1982, all that was out was the
Apple II+ and the Apple ///.

There was the //c, and the //c with the memory expansion connector.  The //c
with the beige keycaps, and the one with the platinum keycaps.  All those
machines were white. And of course the platinum //c+. 

  The //e had the Rev A motherboard at first.  Then the Rev B (added double
hi-res graphics), And I have seen a Rev C motherboard, but don't know the
differences. the PAL version for foreign markets, the platinum //e with the
enhanced keyboard and slightly redsigned motherboard.  The beige //e's had
keycaps with white letters at first, then the smaller black letters later.

   The II and II+ started off with a Rev 0 motherboard, then went to a 1.  Then
a 4 (2 and 3 were never released), then 7, (no 5 & 6 either) then A, then C,
then D.  Then there was RFI versions, I believe starting with the Rev 7 above. 
There was the Apple II Europlus, the J model (saw one on ebay once), the Bell &
Howell model, etc.....

   It does get complicated doesn't it?
