- I searched the Tech Info Library on AppleLink and found the following.
- ----------
- Using double high-res graphics or a Color 100 on older IIe's
-
- The IIe needs a Revision B Motherboard or an Enhanced IIe Logic Board in order
- to support double high-resolution graphics or an RGB (Red Green Blue) Color
- Monitor 100. (The Revision B board differs from the Revision A board in that
- the RGB signals are sent to slot 7 and the auxilliary slot.) To determine
- which revision your Motherboard is, look at the back of the board behind the
- I/O slots: there you'll see the Motherboard's part number. The number will be
- 820-0064-A or 820-0064-B; the last character tells you whether the board is
- Revision A or Revision B. If the part number is 607-0187-A, it is an Enhanced
- IIe and does not need upgrading.
-
- If you have a IIe with a Revision A (820-0064-A) Motherboard and an Extended
- Text card or an RGB interface card, you can have your Motherboard upgraded to
- Revision B by exchanging the motherboard.
