Wow, cool dual processor main board. Id be inclined to put pin 21 of
one of those DIP40's back into its socket though. It could well fix
your problem.  (re - http://www.applefritter.com/files/P9110192.JPG )
As mentioned, the card is not a peripheral board, but a ROM pack. This
was a concept used by cloners to ship the apple roms via normal post
circumventing the customs confiscation carnage that was going on at
the time.
The idea worked well.
