To get double hi (or double low) resolution graphics on your //e, you
*must* have a revision B or higher motherboard. Last time I looked, the
highest revision *was* B.
Authorized Apple dealers are required to upgrade any revision A motherboard
for free. They are allowed to charge only for their time. One dealer in New York City tried
to charge me $50 for their time. Then, they kept my computer for a month.
I called Apple and whined, and the next day I was told I could have my
computer back, and they weren't charging me the $50 either.
The difference between revision A and B has something to do with B being able
to use the same kind of 80 column thing in graphics mode as text mode. The
revision is visible in the model number (?), at the back
of the motherboard... past the expansion slots. It says something like
"820-0064-B" for revision B, or "820-0064-A" for revision A, right below
where it says "Apple Computer, INC, (C) 1983."
