I was just playing around with this very scenario tonight!  Crazy.  I have a
Vulcan 20 meg internal drive, and it's interface card was parked in slot 7.
I just got a hold of some phoneNet connectors, and was hooking up my IIgs to
a Mac SE/30.  Turning on Appletalk in slot 7 preventing my Vulcan from
booting (makes sense - one slot can't do Appletalk AND host a hard drive).
I ended up putting my Vulcan interface in slot 1 (if you put it in slot 7,
you can't use Appletalk.  If you put it in slot 6, you can't use 5.25"
drives, if you put in slot 5, you can't use 3.5" drives, slot 4 you can't
use the mouse, slot 3 you can't use 80 columns, slot 2 you can't use a
modem, slot 1 you can't use a printer!!) because I rarely use a printer and
wanted to get my network up.

Anyway, good luck!

Cheers,
Tim
