This is similar to that thing a couple of weeks ago where you insisted that
hitting a softswitch specific to slot four would cause VBL interrupts to
start.  This may be true on your Laser, but it is *not* true of Apple IIs
in general.

The same goes for this "$C063 is the mouse button".  Not on Apple IIs it
isn't.
