In the June, 1985 issue of Apple Assembly Lines, Bob 
Sander-Cerderlof wrote:

"I personally do not yet have any use for the mouse characters, 
and do not expect to.  Don Lancaster, in the June 1985 issue of 
"Computer Shopper", tells how to connect a 2764 EPROM in the 
character generator socket.  The 2764 can hold two complete 
character sets, because it has twice the capacity of the 2732 
normally in that socket.  However, the socket has only 24 holes 
and the 2764 has 28 pins!  Don shows how to wire this up with a 
socket adapter, and use a toggle switch to select either half."
