Unfortunately puting an extra 80 column card in slot 3 doesn't work
for the same reasons you can't use most other cards in slot 3 when
you have a card in the Auxiliary slot. Even if it did you'd only get
video output when the IIe was in 80 column mode. One of the
exceptions is the Second Sight card which works fine in slot 3 but
it doesn't do well with Double Hi-Res and at least in my case, a lot of
stuff I use is Double Hi-Res. Another better way to have 2 monitors
is to get an Auxilary slot 80 column card with RGB output. I'm using
the RamWorks with RGB option.
