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. The power supply was modified to accept the local voltage, and in the European model, the video output signal was changed from color NTSC to monochrome PAL. For the most part, the Apple II Europlus and J-Plus were identical to the Apple II Plus and software compatibility was near 100%. Production of the Europlus ended in 1983.
