Yes!  Upgrade to the IIe/IIc version.  It no longer uses a slot card.
The new version has a 3 button keypad thhat plugs in the 9-pin joystick
port.  Open Apple and closed Apple can be used for S1 and S2, I use
keyboard redefinition to map the S3 commands into other things.  You
also get a larger text buffer because 128K is used (in fact I think
you have to have 128K to use this version).
