You are correct.  I have a revision B Apple //e (I don't know if I mentioned
that in my original posting).  I was under the same impression when I set
my (Apple) Super Serial Card for communications mode (gee, it doesn't handle
interrupts, so I'd better have that turned off on the SSC).  Well, as soon as
I flipped that one DIP-switch (SW 2-6), everything started working just
fine and dandy.

My thanks to those who replied to my original posting.
