2.  If I can do #1, how would I tape load INT BASIC?  Can I make a

E.g. Boot, reset, LOAD INT BASIC, INT, kill FP, LOAD INT game,
play, ...

If you got 64K, it should be possible. A stub program that does the same job as HELLO on the 1980 system master and relocates BASIC to the language card, then does the equivalent of an INT ... I don't see why it shouldn't be.

(I could prolly make one, actually...)

3.  Can I boot from tape on a IIe?  Actually I know I can based on the
ADTPro instructions.  But how would I create a boot tape?

I've created .WAV files that can be set up so that, if you type LOAD and play them, they do the process of loading, decompressing, and running a bunch of things ... I actually bootstrapped ProDOS and EHBASIC+ or Copy ][ Plus that way.
