Known quirks
- ROM upgrade kit installed on existing IIe units — identified by 'Enhanced' sticker by the keyboard
- 65C02 CPU adds 27 new opcodes that allowed running IIgs-lite software
- MouseText characters added to ROM for early GUI-like apps (AppleWorks, MouseDesk)
- Lowercase-by-default fixes longstanding BASIC program-editing gripe
- Upgrade took the sting out of the original IIe's aging software ecosystem
