Well, I can't really check what the non-autostart

With the ROMcard the Apple II will use the ROMs on the card instead
of the ROMs on the motherboard. Provided of course that the switch
is flipped. So if the ROMcard has the nonautostart ROM (3410004-00)
then it'll go to the monitor instead of into basic. If you want to
use the F8 on the ROMcard then the solder pads marked F8 should be
bridged.
If you use a ROMcard containing a non autostart F8 then the screen
will look pretty much the same with or without a CPU on powerup
