Well, I already know it will boot to the BASIC prompt without the card
installed.  I've been playing in BASIC for a few hours like that
already.   But control-reset will definitely not do anything.  Not
here, not ever.  I even got stuck in one of my own basic programs.
Turns out control-C won't break out of a GET statement (kind of weird)
on an Apple II.  I tried and tried to reset the thing, every
combination possible.  Eventually had to power it off and back on.
