I used to use AppleWorks on a II Plus with a 1 meg memory board and a Transwarp
 as a language card. If I remember correctly there were quite a few choices for
 which memory card you could use when AppleWorks was patched with PlusWorks. It
 took me about a half a dozen tries to get all the correct choices made. I had
 two different machines set up so each one had to have it's own copy of patched
 AppleWorks to run with the hardware that was installed in it. Shortly after
 version 4.0 of AppleWorks was released I read a post somewhere saying that
 that version also worked with PlusWorks. I never tried it so I can't say for
 certian if this is true.
