:~) No. If you have an Apple II application running, you can switch over to
:~) "the Mac side", but the Apple II application suspends operation.

It depends on what the Apple II program is doing.  It can continue to
run in background until it needs to draw anything to the screen (such as
printing a char).  I think it assumes you won't miss any screen updated.
(Ahhh... the card uses QuickDraw routines to draw, and is much slower
than a real IIe if you run some programs which always change the content
of the screen....)
