Well I'm happy with 1.9, the problem is only the utilities... I have a
80 char card but of course the compatibility with the IIe one ends at
PR#3 activating it.

Do you have info on the IIe keyboard connector and/or on the signals
it uses? As for the extra keys, it seems that the Apple keys are the

And the Apple keys are of course easily activated via the Game I/O
paddle buttons.
