IIE: CAN SUPER SERIAL PRINTER CARD OPERATE IN SLOT #3?
-----------------------------------------------------
I have only one vacant slot in my IIe: slot #3. Most cards state in their
manuals that they cannot be placed in slot 3. Here is my present configu-
ration:
Platinum IIe: Present Slot Assignments
======================================
SLOT # INTERFACE CARD OTHER ACCESSORIES
------ ------------------------------------------|----------------
1 super serial card, connected to printer | 8 MHz ZIP CHIP
2 Apple mouse card |
3 (vacant slot!) | AE heavy-duty
4 AE Datalink 2400 modem card | power supply
5 Laser UDC card, with AE 800K disk drive |
6 Apple Disk ][ card, with two Disk ]['s | No-Slot Clock
7 AE Ramfactor memory card with 768K RAM |
aux slot Sequential Systems 1024K ram/80 col card |
I want to add another card to the system. What can be placed in slot #3?
My manual for the Super Serial card suggests slot #1 for printer and slot #2
for modem, but the manual does not ban its use in slot #3. I know that the
software expects the printer to be in slot #1, but I can reinstruct the
software if that is the only complication. But will the serial card function
in slot 3? I have not yet tried it; am seeking advice first. I dont think
that the acceleration from the ZIP chip will be a problem because slot #1,
where the card currently resides, is also speeded by the ZIP.
If no one is sure whether the serial card will work in slot 3, would I risk
damaging either the card or the motherboard if I just tried it there?
Thank you. sebugg
