- I would like to note, that the above is generally true for SoftCards and
- workalikes.
-
- For PCPI AppliCard (aka StarCard, aka Franklin ACE80 CPU), the OS will
- not find the card if it is placed any lower than slot 3.
-
- If it is in a //e an you are using the AUX slot 80-column card then slot
- 3 is perfectly legal for the placement of the AppliCard. I have been
- using an AppliCard (and now CardZ180) in slot 3 of my //e for 4 years now.
-
- The generally accepted location for CP/M cards is usually slot 4 unless
- you ABSOLUTELY must have something else there. Then you can generally
- place it anywhere you wish, paying attention to the note I made above.
-
- Keep on Apple CP/M-in' :-) .
