Agreed, even though a "completely populated" language card is not authentic--the original came with an empty socket. I suppose this will remain true as long as collectors have more money than knowledge... Come to think of it, if you don't think a buyer will like the look of an empty socket, you could plug in *any* 16-pin DIP. ;-) -michael AppleCrate II: An Apple II "blade server"!
