That's exactly the Apple ][ set up I had back in 1979. Paid CAD$1649  
cash for it. The original Apple ][ used integer BASIC, the ][+ used  
floating point BASIC. I purchased a floating point card later on and  
could switch between the two by reaching around the back of the case  
and wiggling my finger into one of the cable slots. I still have that  
Apple ][ (and the original receipt) downstairs.
