A friend has one on his IIe (in the upper right corner when standing in
front of the keyboard) - this one doesn't.  Too bad as I have several
accessories from yeasr ago that needed it such as Calmpute, a biofeedback
device you held in the palm of your hand and it did a biofeedback on you.
I used it with my GS through the 16 pin port but the IIe is without one.

My friend's IIe also has a 16 pin receptacle in the front center of the
board - mine doesn't.  What did that do?

I have a small 80 column card there - don't know about the ram but there
is 128k in it.  The processor is an R65SC02, a little different than my
IIc's 65C02.

There is a small switch under the front side of the computer than switches
to alternate keyboard languages ie...French.
