There is a mod to allow lower-case, but I have yet to
gain the intestinal fortitude to attempt it. I also
don't feel it necessary since I have many newer models
of the II that already have it, so why risk it.

There is, on the upper edge of the keyboard to the
left side and under the lip of the open case, a switch
that allows the RESET key to be used with "control key"
or alone if the user so desires, depending on the type
of keyboard installed. Mine has it and I am glad.
