[ IDENTIFIED ENCLOSURE // APPLE IIE ENHANCED (A2S2064, 1985) ]
Apple IIe Enhanced Computer Enclosure
The Apple IIe desk unit is a keyboard-integrated low-profile enclosure; Apple IIe references describe board and case layout, but usable desk footprint should be measured from the exact case and keyboard feet.
VARIANT / ARCHIVAL CAVEAT: Enhanced IIe ROM/character-generator changes do not make the Platinum IIe or IIc mechanically identical. Verify A2S2064 label, keyboard switch type, board revision and any aftermarket accelerator. Preserve keyboard cable and fragile plastic screw posts.

- Capture the complete model/SKU, serial/date label, board assembly and bay/backplane/riser identifiers before disassembly; keep matched screws, trays, carriers, feet and cables with the case.
- Check the cited manual's specific build option before transferring hardware. Published maximum GPU, drive, fan or radiator capacity may not be simultaneous when a removable cage or alternative riser occupies that volume.
- For rack and vintage systems, preserve the exact rails, shields, doors, brackets and model-specific safety instructions; do not infer compatibility from a familiar brand or physical connector shape.
