Well, the Quickie card works in slot 3, as do both the TransWarp GS and
the ZipGS.  But, true, most things don't go in slot three, since it needs
to be set to "Video firmware" in the Control Panel.

There's also FontAsm, which is a desktop-based font editor.  Quite good,
although there are a few missing things (the version I have won't let you
create a new font -- you have to load an existing font and save it under a
new name).
