This machine is called "Orange Peel", and is packaged as a
small rectangular box with three slots accessable on one
end by sliding back the top, and a separate keyboard.
I believe the machine is running, at least it clears video
memory to zero (familier '@' pattern) on powerup, but goes
no further - the ROM/RAM configuration seems odd:
The main board contains 8 4564 DRAM's along with video
and I/O circuitry etc.
The CPU lives on a separate board which is suspended above
the mainboard on long, hard-to-insert pins.
The CPU board has 7 sockets. At one end is a single 2716
EPROM chip labled "New boot", near the other end of the
line is a label on the board which reads "2kb/2716" - this
suggests that the whole line should be ROM's (which would
be consistant with other apples), however the remaining
sockets contain 5517 CMOS RAM's !!! - clearly there is no
other code on this board.
Inside the "New Boot" ROM, the only strings I can see are:
FBPASIC OR INTBASIC FILE REQUIRED
INSERT APPLICATION DISC AND PRESS ESC
This suggests that it loads basic from disk and would not
have it in ROM.
So - I have a bit of a paradox : the "2kb/2716" label suggests
ROM's, and the 64k of RAM on the mainboard also indicates that
all the RAM is on the lower board, however the ROM strings
suggest that this may be the only ROM.
IIRC, a real Apple ][ has up to 64K RAM (48K on the mainboard, 16K on a
language card) and some ROMs. The ROMs are bank-switched with the top 16K
(Language card) RAM.
It sounds like you effectively have a built-in language card (that would
be quite sensible), and you have RAM in place of the ROM (possibly to get
round Apple copyrights). The 5517 RAMs take the place of ROMs -- they're
loaded once on boot-up, and then contain the resident BASIC, etc. The
EPROM you have sounds like a bootloader for these RAMs.
