Videx lower case chip to the rescue:

Another amazing bit of kit by Videx was a replacement keyboard controller called the Enhancer II:

The Enhancer II included the lower case chip.

Videx also made an 80 column peripheral card for the Apple II. The company is still around:

Didn't the Apple II feature lowercase by the time of the IIe? My Brazilian clone of the II+ included the lowercase mod stock (even including Brazilian accented characters such as ç and ã).


It did, the upgrade for the Apple iie was the 80 column card which also gave 128k memory (from 64k). That was built in to the apple iic.
