III. USING AN APPLESOFT OR INTEGER CARD

As indicated previously, a provision has been made in the

relocated DOS to enable the use of an Apple Firmware card

(Integer card or Applesoft card) from a slot other than 0. The

relocated DOS is set up (as default) to look for the alternate

BASIC (Applesoft in an Apple II and Integer in an Apple II plus)

in the slot which contains the Saturn 64K or 128K RAM board. It

actually looks at the first 16K bank of the board for the

presence of the desired BASIC (the second 16K bank of this board

contains the relocated DOS).

This default can be easily changed using one of the configu-

ration programs provided with the Saturn 64K or 128K board, so

that a different slot will be used for BASIC. One can then place

the desired Apple Firmware card in this slot (Applesoft card for

an Apple II; IntegEr card for an Apple II plus) and gain access

to it.

The following is a step by step procedure for making this

change.

1. Do one of the following:

a) Boot a standard DOS (3.2 or 3.3) and run MOVEDOS

b) Boot a relocated DOS from a previously initialized disk.

2. Run the appropriate configuration program:

a) RUN SET INTEGER SLOT ——— on an Apple IT plus

b) RUN SET APPLESOFT SLOT — on an Apple II

3. Enter the slot number containing the firmware card (Integer

or Applesoft card) when prompted. The program will make the

required changes to the relocated DOS currently resident so

as to use this card.

4. The relocated DOS with configuration intact can be saved at

this point for future use by initializing a disk with this

DOS.

NOTE: The HELLO program used with this modified DOS should he

changed so that it does not test for the presence of a language

card in slot 0, anc load Basic. Otherwise a copy of this Basic

will be loaded into the first half of the RAM card in slot 0, as

well as being present on the firmware card, from which it will be

accessed when requested (by typing FP on an Apple II and INT on
