Might be thinking this is weird when it isn't

as i said in the title this might be normal i don't know, but when ive run Catakig or Virtual][ on my macbook using the IIe options the emulated screen comes up with Apple //e at the top before loading from .dsk. However i noticed today (can't think why i didnt notice before) that on booting my actual IIe that it just displays 'Apple ][' the motherboad has Apple IIe P.A.L 1984 on it, just thought its a bit strange and maybe somebody knows exactly why it's like that.

An enhanced Apple II with the 65C02 and the enhanced ROM's displays "Apple //e". The unenhanced version with 6502 displays "Apple ][".

In the AppleWin emulator you can switch between the two Apple II versions and you can see the different boot screens. Maybe you have the same selection on your macbook.
