It should be built into the IIc, and it's available in the IIe and II Plus if you install a 5.25" floppy controller in slot 6. (You should always refer to $C082+$s0, where s is the slot number you want. You shouldn't count on 5.25" drives always being in slot 6 (though that's where most everybody puts 'em). In any case, the only time you need to play with this softswitch is to (1) write a nibble editor or (2) write a drive-head cleaning program.)
