: No.  a //e with a 'C02 is not necessarily "enhanced".  the enhancement
: kit also includes a new Monitor ROM and a new Character Generator ROM,
: in addition to a 65C02.

: the simple addition of the 65C02 should make all the software run, however.
: It just won't necessarily look right... lots of inverse uppercase letters.

Would anyone happen to know, then, how to tell an enhanced //e from
a mere //e with a 65c02, from software?
