This card isn't a IIe only card as it can be used with the II+ or IIgs as
well..
It shouldn't be confused with the memory in your IIe Auxilary slot, the IIe

basically sees it as a storage device not memory. With very few exceptions
it's only used as a ramdisk. Some copy programs will use it as a buffer.
Later versions of AppleWorks can use it and earlier versions can be patched

to use it. A few programs load themselves onto it to cut down disk access
time but that's really just the program using it as a ramdisk. Just about
any
slot except 3 should work fine. While you could fill your slots with these
cards each card will be an individual ramdisk. A program like Copy II Plus
will see it.
