Anyway, is it possible to remove ROMS from the Platinum and place them
in a //e to make it enhanced? If so, which ones (ie what will be
printed on the ICs?).
I think you're out of luck there. The Beige //e has two ROM chips, CD
rom and EF rom. The Platinum //e has a single chip called CF rom. They
obviously lowered the component count between the two models.
I have JPEGs of the motherboards for //e Enhanced, //e Platinum, IIgs
ROM01 and IIgs ROM03 (I think courtesy of Wayne Stewart?). It's fun to
overlay the windows and do a blink comparison like the astronomers do.
The Apple //e Enhancement Kits show up on Ebay from time to time. Not
only you get the new ROMS (CD and EF), you also get a 65C02 and an
updated character generator ROM.
