So was that the code name for the superdrive card or something?

I have mine in slot 6. I don't have a 5.25 drive on my IIgs any more, but if
I did, I'd never use it in conjunction with 3.5s. So it'd only take a change
in the control panel to go back and forth. Putting the card in slot 5 will
cost you the built in RAM disk when you're running 8 bit software.

The card can run superdrives, grey 800Ks, and Unidisk 3.5s. It'd probably run
my CT-20c hard disk but I've never had any reason to try it.

In the control panel, just set whatever slot the card's in to use the card.

: Which cards does it conflict with? SCSI Cards?

Just the RAM disk if it's in slot 5 as I mentioned up there.
