True, the Videx keyboard enhancers really make life more pleasant on Apple II's and II+'s. But before buying an Enhancer, check to make sure it will work with your keyboard! Apple II's and early Apple II+'s, generally Revisions 0 through 6, had a one piece keyboard circuit board, rather than the two-piece board the Videx Enhancer II needs to attach. Videx makes (the original) "Keyboard & Display Enhancer" for the pre-revision 7 keyboards, and while this provides a very nice, fully functional keyboard, it does not give some of the extra features available on the Enhancer II. Notably, the original K&D Enhancer does not have a type-ahead buffer, and it does not allow for programmable function keys. (The original is also hard to find, though it can be ordered from Videx in Corvallis, OR.) Grobbins.
