After the success of the first Apple II in the United States, Apple expanded its market to include Europe and the Far East in 1978, with the Apple II Europlus (Europe) and the Apple II J-Plus (Japan). In these models, Apple made the necessary hardware, software, and firmware changes to comply with standards outside of the U. S. and Canada. In the Japanese version of the international Apple, the character ROM and the keyboard layout were changed to allow for Katakana writing. For the most part, the Apple II Europlus and J-Plus were identical to the Apple II Plus and software compatibility was near 100%.
