To run integer BASIC, you need a language card (aka a 16k or better
memory expansion board) as well as a boot disk of some sort.  I'm not
sure if this was the DOS 3.2 boot disk which automatically included
Integer BASIC or if there was a separate Integer BASIC disk that you
needed.  For some reason, I recall that the DOS 3.2 disk brought you to
the Integer BASIC prompt ">" while DOS 3.3 and ProDOS disks brought you
to the Applesoft BASIC prompt "]"

Correct me if I'm wrong, it's been a while.
