[comp.sys.apple] What does "enhanced" mean?

zz1ml@sdcc3.ucsd.EDU (Mick Laver) (01/19/88)

I've been trying to exec Floyd Zink's "BLU" with little success. I
seem to get some sort of write failure every time. Since the program
requires an "enhanced" //e, //c, or GS, I suspect that't the
problem... but what's "enhanced". Is my 128K //e (circa 83)
unenhanced?  Can it be enhanced, perchance? Inquiring minds want to
know. Thanks.

Enhanced //e's are all Apple produces now.  Pre-//e's such as the ones
from '83, can be upgraded from your dealer.  The process requires replacing
a few chips on the motherboard.  I did it myself in a few minutes -- 

The cost is about $40.00 or so.  I'm sure someone will post the spec's
as I have forgotten.
