Steve gave you the correct answer, he just miscalculated the
conversion from decimal to hex for the value you gave. Here
are the addresses you need for each of the slots.

Slot     Hex     Decimal
========================
  1     $C100    49408
  2     $C200    49664
  3     $C300    49920
  4     $C400    50176
  5     $C500    50432
  6     $C600    50688
  7     $c700    50944
