This doesn't sound like a "feature" to me. IIRC Apple cards get a slot select signal that tells them they are needed. With all 8 cards on at the same time it would be like a cocktail party with everyone talking at once because the Apple II bus doesn't have a bus control/negotiation protocol. Any thoughts? - Mike
exactly my impression. The way I would design it would be, the ROM on the apple card probably "maps" each slot on the expansion unit to active when softswitched. Kind of like mapping memory areas on memory cards to memory addresses in the address space.
