The opposite case is also useful: a ROM card with Integer BASIC and the
old monitor ROM, installed in a II+.  The old monitor is quite good for
some hacking tricks, since there is no way for software to prevent a
Ctrl-Reset from dropping into the monitor.

I've even used one in a IIe for this purpose, though it is less useful.
