It doesn't matter what slot you put it in (I think it will even work in slot
3(?)). It runs an operating system. You put the operating system boot disk
in Drive 1, and turn on the computer. Now you are using CP/M 3.0, a system
similar to MS-DOS (which was a clone of CP/M 2.2). You run CP/M software,
use CP/M utilities, etc. It makes your Apple a Z80 computer. It can use
most of the Apple hardware peripherals. What else do you need to know?
