California Computer Systems PROM card - 7114A

I wanted a ROM card to round out the  toolset and picked this up on ebay. Arrived today and I realized it was more than a clone of the apple integer rom card. More chips. Looking at it, I <think> you can install diodes on the pads on the lower left to selectively enable specific ROM chips. 

 

Anyone got documentaion on this? I looked on Apple2.org and they had a front photo but nothing else. 

 

Also, any idea why they differentiate between PROM and ROM in the silkscreen (above the pads - lower left)

 

Cheers

2316 vs 2716

Possibly because the 2316 mask ROMs use enable pins that are inverted relative to those on 2716 EPROMs?

This is a really cool card.

This is a really cool card.

 

And from the condition of the diode pads it looks like it has never been used...
