What does that matter? The Apple Card takes up SCSI ID 0.
The boot device should be the highest numbered SCSI ID because
that has priority over the other SCSI ID's.  I have mine on SCSI
ID 6 because that is the highest my drive supports.  However,
on the RamFAST, the card doesn't take a SCSI ID but on the
Apple SCSI it does.  He just has to make sure the HD and the
Apple card don't use the same ID. It has nothing to do with what
slot the card is on the computer though it matters when the IIgs
looks for the first bootable drive because it scans from slot 7
on down. You can force it to boot from whatever slot in the control
panel though.
