   Actually, "FBBE" appears to pertain exclusively to FIRMWARE (not the IIe   
   Startup application SOFTWARE), because when I type the following two commands   
   at a BASIC prompt (with the IIe Card installed in an LC575 motherboard)...   
      
   CALL -151   
   FBBE   
      
   ...it says FBBE is 03 regardless of whether I use version 2.2.1 or 2.2.2d1 of   
   the IIe Startup app.  (I cannot run II Setup app versions older than 2.2.1   
   because when I try, it throws the error: "Unable to continue because of a   
   fatal error. Error # 10019."   
   )   
      
   Interesting aside: when I try the same commands on the Virtual ][ emulator, it   
   says FBBE is 00.
