Someone sent me a picture they wanted identified. I'm pretty sure this is an Applesoft ROM card, but I'd like someone smarter than I to verify my guess, since I've never owned one to let me be certain:

If I remember right, the switch determines if the computer will boot from its internal ROM or the ROM on this card. Every one of these cards I ever ran into had a ROM with the older integer BASIC on it, though it's possible that it could contain something else.
A friend and I once created a custom ROM chip for the card that we used for troubleshooting software. You started up the computer normally and ran the software, then flipped the switch and reset the computer. Our ROM would dump parts of memory so we could see what was happening in the software.
