If there is a card in the Auxiliary slot then the Mouse card won't work
in slot 3. I'd put the Transwarp in slot 3 and the mouse card in slot 4
where some software may expect to find it.

I'm not familiar with the Cirtech card. It may or may not work with
Appleworks. An easy way to find out how compatible the card is would
be to see if it shows up as a RAMdisk under ProDOS. If it does then
likely it will work with Appleworks. If not then you'd probably have
to patch Appleworks.
