I think the Mockingboard will work in any slot except 3 but it
requires you to set the slot to 'Your Card' which means you
have to deactivate some function.

On a ROM 3, slot 4 would be one choice because the mouse
does not get deactivated under GS/OS even if slot 4 is set
to 'Your Card' instead of 'Mouse' but the ROM 01 has no such
slot 4 capability.

There is actually a IIGS specific Ultima I complete with IIGS
Super High Resolution graphics and Ensoniq music and
sound.  Ultima I was sold by Vitesse.  I do not know if it there
is anyone else selling it today.  I never bought the game but
read reviews about it in magazines.  It seemed great.
