Actually, there's only 16K of ROM in the IIe (not counting the video
and keyboard ROMs since they're not accessible to the processor).  It
shouldn't be too hard for Apple to do this in any future II, though.
You'd probably want BASIC.SYSTEM as well, so you'll need about 48K of
ROM; three 27128s can hold this amount.
