Ah yes, I had one too.  Those macros were very handy.  Mine had
lower-case capability, too.  The "y" had a peculiar descender, which I
liked better than the Apple //e's

A friend had a peculiar clone -- I think it was called a "Peelings ][."
(I remember this because we used to sing "Peeling's, nothing more than
peelings" whenever it booted, showing "Peelings ][ at the top of the
screen.)  It had neither Applesoft Basic nor Integer in ROM, it had to
load it from the boot disk.  I think it had fewer slots as well.
