I agree re Rev 4. Do you think that no Apple II's had rev 4
motherboards? I have a II with a rev 3 board, and a questionable II
or II+ with a rev 4 board. The board looks very similar to the rev3
board in all details including card connectors.. except for the jumper
blocks as you mention.
If II's were not made after summer of 79 as I have seen on Wehyrich's
site (http://apple2history.org/history/ah04.html), then it would seem
that mobos with a date after 05/79 -- in this case the 25th week of
1980 -- would certainly NOT be Apple II.
That is incorrect. In December, 1980, I had the choice of a Rev 7 ][+
or a Rev 7 ][ for the same price. The only external difference
was the nameplate (and *maybe* the serial number series), and the
only internal difference was the ROMs.
I don't know whether the serial numbers of these machines were
in different series, since I never turned one over to look.
