Well, first off if the IIe in question doesn't have the keypad, it
isn't a platinum.

Platinum e's are, of course, enhanced.  If you are not on a platinum
e, you can look at location $FB03 (peek 64259).  If the value is 224,
then it is enhanced.  Otherwise, the value should be 234, in which
case it is not enhanced.

Memory is trickier, but the simpliest way is to type in 'pr#3' and see
if you get 80-columns.  If the system crashes, you don't have 128k
(another way is to look inside to see something the aux slot).

Hope this helps.
