I changed my IIe to dvorak layout a few years ago. At that time there were
two ways of doing it. one was to order a kit from international solutions
for about $ 150.00. The other way was to write to apple to get the instuctions
I wrote to customer service at apple (guess it is customer relations now)
and the sent me the instuctions which amounted to something like jumping
the two pin molex like connector inside the computer and taking a rom chip
out and bending one of the pins out of the way and connecting two other
pins together.I would urge you to contact customer relations at apple
for this information.It is really a simple modification if you know
how to solder. I moved since i did the mod but i think i have the 
instructions around somewhere if you can't get them from apple.the only
problem you will have is if you want to move the keys on the keyboard around
it will not work because the keyboard is curved. this was solved in the kit
with replacement keycaps. also i seem to remember if you jumped the molex
connector with a switch instead of a straight wire you could switch back
and forth between qwerty and dvorak. well hope this helps
