I know there are shift key for mods for Apple II+ computers, but
are there any mods available for an Apple II+ so that it will display
^^^^^^^
upper and lower case characters? Do any of the 80 column cards
for the II+ provide this capability? If such a modification exists,
where might I find it and how much would it cost?
Thanks for any help.

>From what I have seen all 80 col cards for ][+ will give you both upper and
lower case characters. Another option is changing your character generator
at location A5 on the motherboard.
The chip sells retail for $12.00 (I can sell you one for $10.00 postage paid.
The shift key mod goes for $7.00 but I'd recomend making it yourself.
The following is how to do it.
If interested send me E-Mail
I'll send info later.

There used to be several manufacturers of replacement character chips for the II+. I know because I bought one -- about 9 years ago. You would be lucky to find one now, but some scrounging a some "funky" parts-oriented computer store might yield one. Alternatively, most 80-column cards do provide this functionality. I got one of these about 6 years ago. You probably need to look in the same kind of place. Alternatively, just run a "Wanted -- Apple II+ 80 Column card" ad here. I'd guess about $75. sk
