Apple II

I have several Apple IIe machines I'm refurbishing and many of them are missing the keyboard light cover.  I managed to find one replacement, but I need several more and I'm starting to consider manufacturing my own.  It appears the lens cover is acrylic... mabe 10 thousandths of an inch thick... the surface is painted in Apple beige and masked on the underside.I have ideas, but I wondered if anyone else had managed to make good looking replacements...

I recently acquired a Beltron system, and I noticed that it has markings on the keys for BASIC shortcuts. I habe yet to power it up, or to do an diagnostics on it. I am unsure at this time if it is PAL or NTSC. 

Do any of you have a Beltron manual, or any docs for it? 

Do any of you have ROM dumps--I plan to make some at some point.

Do you lnow the purpose of the 'option' ROM connection?

I am likely going to (one day) give it an overall charcoal cololur scheme. 

In a couple issues of Apple Assembly Lines from 1982, I found references to a "Mike's Magic Matrix" tool that was under development by Mike Laumer, frequent contributor to the newsletter and author of the FLASH! Integer BASIC compiler.  It sounded like Mike's Magic Matrix was a bitmap shape/sprite editor tool.  Development soundedto be pretty far along, as the author indicated they he had only a little more adjusting to do and a manual to write, but aside from these references in Apple Assembly Lines, I haven't been able to find anything more on it.  Anyone have any information?

Fortunately, I got a piece of Super II, collected some related materials, and dedicated to friends who are interested in Apple IIE.

In 1980,Apple IIE's first design project called "Diana". Diana was intended primarily to be an Apple II that had fewer internal components, and would be less expensive to build. The project was later known as "LCA", which stood for "Low Cost Apple". the final code name for the updated Apple II was "Super II", and lasted until its release.
