I tested this out in a stripped unenhanced IIe (console and green 
monitor only), and it worked.  After a bit of experimentation, I was 
able to get it into Integer Basic, but I hafta have her shut off 
before switching the toggle.  She dumps me into the monitor and I 
hafta do CTRL-B to get to Int Basic.  Am I correct in assuming that 
the chip missing in socket 2 is the autoboot ROM for Integer?

I'll probably put this in the II+ when I get around to it...
