With the GS, if it's not in slot 7, you do need to set the slot to be
"Your Card" in the control panel. If you want to have virtual floppy
drives in a different slot than the one the physical card is plugged
into, then _that_ slot needs to be set to "Your Card" as well.
Has anyone used the usb on this card with a usb extender cable?
As Sean says, it's not only possible, but encouraged. It saves
mechanical wear on the connector on the card. You can also plug in
multi-card adapters and use all sorts of memory devices; just note that
you can't use a USB hub.
To see a multi-card adapter in use, I used one in this video at 1:40:
