80,smarterm.smarterm II,vision 80, multiview 80/160, M&R Sup'rterminal and
fullview 80. The display card must be in slot 3. Plus-Works and Appleworks
both require 64K RAM, therefore, the Apple language card or equivalent 16K
RAM card is required in slot 0. If your computer has the standard II

"Plus-Works II supportd desktop expansion into many peripheral slot
ramcards from 64K to 1024K. The card may occupyany available slot. Those
