True. Presumably the Profile ROM won't boot. :-)

I put the Programmer's Aid #1 ROM in a II Plus system along side the
Autostart and Integer ROMs. I took out one of the Applesoft ROMs (probably
the D0), but I was able to enter the Monitor and use the Programmer's Aid #1
routines.

I think you could do the same with the Profile ROM. Just get a II Plus and
take out one the D0 ROM and put in the Profile ROM.
