Bill, Indeed you would need to change the card's signature bytes just slightly if you wanted the CFFA card to boot in the ][+. The ][+ ROM looks for: xx, $20, xx, $00, xx, $03, xx $3c which is the sig that a disk ][ controller has. In the //e ROM it only checks the first 3 values instead of 4, for this so other controller card can boot too. If you look in the CFFA firmware source, if you set the SMARTPORT lable to false, it will change the last byte in the CFFA sig from a $00 to a $3C to look like a disk ][ to the apple ROM slot scan routine.
