Some cards must go in particular slots, others have prefered slots while
still others dont matter.

//e Aux slot cards must go in the Aux slot as they have 60 pins and wont
fit in slots 0-7. //gs memory cards must go in the memory card slot in a //gs.
Standard 50 pin cards typically go in slots as follows:

0	16k or 128k RAM cards
1	parallel printer or serial printer
2	internal modem or serial
3	80 column cards (not in a //e)
4	disk controller or mouse
5	disk controller
6	disk controller
7	disk controller (not for Pascal 1.3)

other cards can typically go in any empty slot (there will be exceptions).

If it has 60 pins, yes - the aux slot.

More modern version of the Disk ][ controller card, designed for DuoDisk
or daisychainable 5.25" drives rather than the original 20 ribbon cable
Disk ][.

The //e has all the 80 column hardware on the motherboard.
All it needs plugged into the Aux slot is some RAM with a buffer or two.
