Cool, thanks for the info.

further checking shows that I have the older ][e, with the 6502, but
the board is the B version of the number they said wasn't upgradable
without changing the MB.  So I guess that means if I can get a hold of
the chips, I can upgrade it to the later version.

Any info on that?   I mean, how hard is it to get those chips now?  Is
it worth it?

How about just swapping the cpu to a 65c02, any benefits in that?

Just curious mostly.

So far it's been pretty cool to mess with.



If you can find a //e enhancement kit, it contains everything you need (i.e. 65C02 and updated ROMs) - however, these are pretty hard to come by these days. They do occasionally appear on eBay though.

But be careful--a lot of "enhancement kits" are actually "unenhancement
kits", since their original owner put the *old* chips back in the box
after enhancing their system.
