 Yes, from your description and some searching,
 that's what it is. Can anyone
 tell me what was supposed to go in the D8 socket?
 All of the pictures I've
 seen show that socket empty. 
Anything you want. An Apple with Integer BASIC
firmware typically had one or two sockets open for
additional ROM programs or utilities. IIRC, the only
popular one was the 'Programmer's Aid' expansion ROM.
When the Applesoft firmware took over the Apple world,
it gobbled up the whole 10K ROM space beneath the
monitor so that was the end of that. A shame.
Fortunately Apples don't require Applesoft to be
useful.

 appreciate getting a
 copy. Thanks! 
I've never seen the manual. The wonderful book,
"Understanding the Apple II" covers the Firmware card
and even provides instructions for some useful hacks
like F8 ROM selection. You can find it in the online
manuals section of 1000bit under the Apple heading.
