Re: Apple Integer BASIC firmware card

[SynABit@kc.invalid (Dennis Doms)]

If you're not already using slot 3 (for an accelerator, etc.) the card
will also work there. Even if there is an extended memory slot card
installed.

The switch on the card will control whether the system uses the IIe
motherdboard ROM or the Integer Card ROMs when the system is reset.

Note that the card may include either the old non-Autostart ROM
(resets to monitor) or the Autostart ROM (resets to BASIC version on
the card). Neither of these will include some of the extended features
of the IIe ROMs (which call routines outside the 2K address space of
the original Apple II monitor ROMs).
