The Senior PROM is a hardware device that replaces the standard ROMS
in an Apple IIe. Specifically, it's a NMI card with some extra
features built in.  I have one, though the ROMs on mine are designed
to work with an unenhanced IIe and it gets a little wonky when
installed in an enhanced unit.  I'd be willing to lend it to someone
for reverse-engineering, if there's any interest.
