Remember that the second revision unenhanced //e has the same keyboard as
the enhanced //e. The way you know that a //e is enhanced is by the
sticker that says "Enhanced" around the green power LED. However, if the
original owner added the enhancement kit and didn't put the sticker on the
LED, you'd have to look inside for the upgraded ROMs and the 65C02.
