     MockingBoard uses Slot addresses in the range $Cn00- $CnFF for I/O
where n is the Slot #. This means that whatever Slot MockingBoard is
placed in will have to be set to "Your Card" in the Control Panel. 

     Quite a few programs expect MockingBoard to be in Slot 4. This
includes MB demos and games like ThunderBombs and Lancaster. Ultima III
allows specifying the Slot.

     If you want to run MockingBoard wares with minimum hassle, stick the
board into Slot 4. Set Slot 4 to "Your Card" when you want to run MB
stuff. Set it back to Mouse for normal IIgs operation.
