Hi Jeff,

found on www.apple-history-com:

The Apple IIc Plus (identified as ROM '5') was the first IIc model to see
significant changes. The three major changes were the internalization of the
powersupply (previously an external brick-on-a-rope as users liked to call
it), a built-in 800K 3.5 floppy drive replacing the older 5.25, and finally,
the equivalent of a ZipChip 4 MHz accelerator built-in. Apple licensed the
add-on technology from Zip Technologies to incorporate the accelerator as
standard in the IIc+, though in doing so, broke it out into an ASIC, SRAM
and a faster 65C02 (the ZipChip had all that intergrated into a tall 40-pin
DIP chip). Other major changes included a keyboard layout that matched the
IIgs and Mac SE, changing of the serial port connectors from DIN-5 to mini
DIN-8 and an internal modem connector, although the latter never saw any
products to use it.
