that to run UCSD Pascal you needed the "Euro+" Apple II. Can anyone confirm
this?  
 Well, that's not a combo I've run, but if a Europlus will do it, any ][+
 should do it, the implication being that you need 48K RAM.  (32K mainboard
 and the Language Card?? Help me out here....) 
48KB on the motherboard, and the Language Card or equivalent 16KB RAM
card.  The canonical configuration is a Language Card in slot 0 with a
16-pin DIP jumper installed between a socket on the card and a the
upper-left motherboard RAM socket (the RAM chip gets relocated to the
card), but of course there were many compatible memory cards.

I don't recall any reason why you couldn't do this on an Apple
][, but I know I did it on a Rev 7 ][+, and a friend had done
it on an earlier rev (4?) ][+ that still had the 4K/16K jumper
blocks on the motherboard.  Obviously they were all set for 16K
(as you must have 48KB on the motherboard).
