Huh?  You mean this isn't the norm?

I have a //e with the aux slot directly in line with and just behind slot 3.
So if I have only slot 3 and slot 4 free, and have just ordered a TransWarp
and a Mouse interface card, does this mean I can't use them both? I really 
don't want to have to pull one of the other cards...

Assuming the worst, and that I can't use one of them (grumble, grumble) are
there any cards that I *could* use in that slot 3 (i.e. short & without ROM)?

Where is the Aux slot in a standard //e BTW?

Thought for the day:-
Why does Apple take so much pleasure in shafting it's customers??
