Although I never did it (having a 2e instead of a 2+) a friend
of mine discovered that the 2+ keyboard PCB uses a keyboard
encoder chip with provisions for lower case - it just isn't
hooked up.  Furthermore, a standard slide switch can be installed
in HOLES ALREADY PROVIDED ON THE PCB that gives either standard
Apple or upper/lower case with the keyboard shift key.  He chose
to mount the switch on the front panel anyway for convenience.

The problem is in the Apple monitor, which masks any lower case
to upper case.  The fix is simple if you put the monitor in the
language card RAM.
