If it has 6 chips on it it should be AppleSoft. Integer Basic was 4 chips
but somtimes had a 5th chip that was a programmers aid. If both the
motherboard and the ROM card each have 6 chips then they're both
Applesoft and the ROM card serves no purpose.
Reminds me of the time I saw a IIe for sale with 5 printer cards in it.
In that case the seller wanted the IIe to look maxed out so it would
sell better.
