   Well starting around Rev 4, the RAM selector blocks were all fixed at 48K,   
   making it difficult to have any inferior RAM configuration. My integer Apple   
   II has a Rev 4 board, with a handwritten date code of 1980.   
      
   But my Apple II Plus has a Revision 3 board with removal RAM blocks. It's   
   dated early 1979 (if you have The New Apple II User's Guide, you have a   
   photo of this motherboard).
