Re: Question about upgrading Apple IIe

Hello.
I have a German Apple IIe unenhanced.
I wonder if I can change the CPU with a 65C02 and burn new roms (or eproms) with new enhanced firmware.
Perhaps has someone the images of the three needed roms?
What about German characters? Do I loose them if I change the three roms?
Are there any incompatibilities with old software running on Dos 3.3 if I make the Apple enhanced?

Thank you very much.

Roberto


As I see it, the only possible incompatibilities are from:

1) software that uses the subset of the Apple's character set that was reassigned to mousetext and lowercase

2) software that made use of undocumented opcodes which may no longer behave the same way in the 65C02.

I can't comment on the German characters question.
