Question. Do you have any trouble turning the card off when you go into
graphics mode or otherwise? The card I have has an option where you can
connect a wire to it and one of the chips so it will turn off when you go
into graphics modes.

Does the board have any markings, names, copyright notices, etc. ? If we
knew who made it (Videx maybe, they were the original standard -- Apple
never made an 80 column board for the //+, just the //e) we might have some
clue as to what it was for.

It may well be for the shift key mod, but if you don't have any trouble using
it then I wouldn't worry about it.
