If you have a physical card in some of the slots, could you override
recognition of that card and use the slot as a virtual slot for the
CFFA3K?

For example, if I have a Z80 card in Slot 4 but I want (for some
reason) to mount a disk image from the CFFA3K in Slot 4, do I have to
physically remove the Z80 card, or can the Apple be told to ignore the
physical card and recognize the virtual card?
