Hi Bill,

Excellent, thank you for the reply! - I hooked it up and
was having a massive conflict of some sort.  I thought I had
a problem with using Slot 5 as My Card and Slot 6 as the
Smart Port in the setup.  It turns out the CFFA card just
doesn't like to play with others in a IIgs!  I had it all setup
in my //e platinum and it worked peacefully together, but
not in the IIgs.  The workaround?  Well let's just say that
if I want to boot my CFFA I have to type PR#1 :)

So as it is now, my IIgs works with this setup:

Slot 1 - CFFA 128 MB
Slot 2 - Super serial card (don't ask - lol!)
Slot 5 - Superdrive card
Slot 6 - Smart port

Slot MEM - AE 1.5 Meg RAM card
(Speaking of which, when are the RAM4GS going to be
available again?!)

And it would absolutely not boot from the CFFA in
any other slot than 1 ... strange indeed!

Later,
Craig
