Sorry, I didn't notice. I was wondering why the ACIA kept posting
interrupts if there was not any serial port activity. 
The IIc is new to me. 
The one and only Apple II I ever knew was not even a Plus... until it
was given first the firmware card and later a language card and a swap
of the roms between the mlb and the firmware card.

I bought to syndicomm a copy of the 2nd edition. 
BTW, the schematics are so blurry, almost useless.
