IMPORTANT NOTE FOR DOS 3.2 USERS
AND FOR 13-SECTOR CP/M USERS

Apple II computers come standard with one of two BASICs: Applesoft
or Integer BASIC. Standard Apple II systems have Integer BASIC and
Apple II Plus systems have Applesoft.

If you are using an Apple Firmware Card installed in Slot 0 to make
available the other version of BASIC, you must remove

it

when RAM-

Card is installed. This means that the BASIC on the Apple Firmware
Card will no longer be available.

To use RAMCard with the Microsoft SoftCard and CP/M, you must
have a 16-sector system. This is because you must use the CPM56
program to update your CP/M system to 56K. The CPM56 utility is
included only on your 16-sector CP/M master disk. In addition, most of
the other software available for RAMCard also requires a 16-sector
disk system.

These problems can be solved with Apple Computer’s DOS 3.3 16-
sector update kit, available at your dealer. This package contains soft-
ware that will allow you to load the other version of BASIC into
RAMCard, so that both versions of BASIC will be available for use by
Apple DOS programs. A disk is also supplied with the DOS 3.3 package
that will allow you to boot your old 13-sector disks.
