This got me interested so I dragged out my two Apple ROM cards.  The one I
knew worked as a II+ in my IIe, but the other I never tried since it only
has 5 out of the 6 ROMs.  I just put it in now and it comes up into the
monitor.  I hit ctrl-C and enter and it goes to Integer BASIC.  I just can't
tell what to do from there.  Did the original II have ROM in the D8 page?
Perhaps that's why BASIC craps out when I try to add a line.  It says "****
MEM FULL ERR" and beeps.
