i have another wierd guestion....i have that proslot card which allows you in slot 7 to put 2 cards sideways into it...the cards tuck under the lip of the apple // right side facing down..<snip> could ....using such a card ..could you actually use such a beast (concievably) to put say 2 cffa cards or some such silly ness in the same slot? or is this limited to printer cards....or something slow...anyway onthis dapple setup looks like both cards are being used somehow at same timeI'd say you could use any 2 cards as long as they aren't power hungry. It does switch from one to the other, right?
I'd expect the problem to be what "slot 7, drive 1" means. The last thing you want is "transparent" switching between hard disks in the same slot. If switching is manual, then the disks could not be used together--not particularly useful. The slot architecture on the Apple II is more than an electrical connection. Adding additional slots *that work like real slots* cannot be accomodated by the architecture. Of course, if all you want to do is tap power, you don't really need a slot! -michael Music synthesis for 8-bit Apple II's!
