    Michael is right.  Any slot 0 card like Saturn 128K and 256K cards are 
installed in Apple II and II+.  Apple II / II+ are limited to 48K maximum, 
but with 16K language card installed, it can expand up to maximum 64K.  It 
is great feature when you can switch 16K page up to 8 pages of 16K for total 
128K or 16 pages of 16K for total 256K.
    You can still use AppleWorks version 1.0 - 1.3 to use Saturn card. 
Also, AE RAMFactor card in any slot 1 - 7 can be used.  If you wish to use 
AppleWorks on Apple II / II+, you will need third party 80 column like AE 80 
column card to be installed in slot 3.
