I tried to put only Super Serial, in slot 2, Card and the Apple II 3.5
Disk Card, and the error appears !!! I tried to put the 3.5 Card in
all slots, excpet in Slot 3 and 2, of course !!! The error occurs even
if I put Super Serial Card in any slot.

SW1
1: DOWN
2: DOWN
3: DOWN
4: DOWN
5: UP
6: DOWN
7: DOWN

SW2
1: DOWN
2: DOWN
3: DOWN
4: DOWN
5: DOWN
6: UP
7: DOWN

The Serial Card is in MODEM mode.

But the error occurs only if I boot from any ProDOS version !!! If I
boot from a DOS 3 floppy, the Drive 3 1/2 doesn't work, off course,
but I can works with the Super Serial Card. But, if I try to use any
ProDOS disk, boot from floppy disk or 3 1/2 disk, like Appleworks, I
must take off the Super Serial Card.
