Apple offered a free upgrade from the Rev A boards, so there probably aren't many left in the wild. 64k IIe's (and the very earliest "Rev A." 128k IIe's) didn't support the higher-res graphics modes. Other then that, well, as noted, it was possible to buy a IIe with 64k, in which case it would usually be equipped with a little 1K 80-column-only card in the slot otherwise used for the 64k upgrade card. Except for the European Apple II "Europlus", which required an additional PAL encoder card since the cheap shortcuts the Apple II used to generate colors on NTSC TVs didn't work on PAL.) (Admittedly an *awful lot* of Apple II's ended up attached to black-and-white-or-green-or-yellow monitors, but they all had the ability to output color to a TV. II+'s additionally almost always ended up with (or shipped with) a 16k "Language Card" for a total of 64k.
The only differences really between the II and the II+ was the II was equipped with Integer Basic instead of Applesoft in ROM. Color was sort of the whole selling point of the II series. Just for the record, the original II had color as well. I don't really know much more about these computers, never having had one. They came standard with 256k of memory and had an Apple II emulation mode. The Apple III, and the III+, were Apple's first attempt at a 'business' computer. I'm sure there are others differences bu these are the ones I know of. the changes in it from the standard IIc were the addition of a built in accelerator for the 65C02 processor, running at 4Mhz, a built in 3.5 drive instead of 5.25 and the power supply was put inside the case instead of being an external brick. It also used a GUI similar to the Macs, GS/OS.

It also was the FIRST Apple computer to use the ADB port and a synthesizer sound chip, the Ensonic ES5503 the same one that was used in the Ensonic Mirage and Ensonic ESQ-1 professional synthesizers. The 65816 processor could run at the standard 1MHz or a "fast"2.8MHz. It also supported all the standard Apple II graphics modes along with two super high res modes, 320x200 and 640x200. The IIGS came standard with 256k, until the ROM 3 version which had 1.125MB.

The IIc was an attempt at a 'portable' Apple II and supported all the graphics modes of the IIe plus "mousetext" graphics, which the IIe didn't until the //e. The //e, or 'enhanced' IIe, used all the same chips as the IIc so it could also display "mousetext" graphics. The IIe, and later the //e, came standard with 128k and supported low res, high res and double high res graphics along with built in lower case display. Um, I think the II+ also had onboard color graphic support, since I remember using my color TV as a monitor until I could afford a color monitor for it. I'm sure there is more to all this so fill me in too guys! The IIgs was the first to support both hi-res color graphics AND onboard sound (GS = Graphics + Sound).Īnd I don't know much about the /// other than it was an utter failure. Just an upgraded ROM I think? The IIc was the first to support any onboard color graphic circuity (though it sucks by modern standards this was quite a feat!). I know the II+ was a basic model 2 of the new-ish II series.
