Ok, how's about being able to use printers and modems while having
AppleTalk active?  A computer which cannot both print and use a modem is
pretty useless.  I assume that people replace the printer port with
AppleTalk with the idea that the will use an AppleTalk printer, but as the
IIgs only supports a limited number of AppleTalk printers, this could be a
problem.  So if I am simply wanting to use AppleShare yet have complete
use of a printer and modem, should I simply give in and put my scsi card
in slot 6?
