Yeah, right!  That's a good one.  Given the architecture of the Apple 
II+/IIe, It would not be possible to write your own ROMS and have any 
significant number of programs work.  Nearly every program I know of 
jumped directly into the ROM code with certain registers set to perform 
certain operations.  There would be no way to do the same thing without 
infringing heavily on the copyrights or breaking most of the programs 
out there.
