Hi Vince, I've not verified this but it is my understanding that if you
put a firmware card in one of the Apple's peripheral slots (not slot 0)
and activate it, the firmware on the card will replace the firmware on
the board without interfering with a language card. If this is the
case, a 64K Apple II with an active Applesoft firmware card in one of
its peripheral slots is effectively a 64K Apple II+ and will therefore
allow much more flexibility in running Prodos.
