I didn't realize accelarators were stock to the
era.  Will probably end up with the following:
No slot clock
Mouse card
1.44 meg card
Laser I/O card
Super Serial Card
1 meg card
SCSI card
CP/M card
And that would take all of my slots.
I am more than happy with my color composite monitor, and would
rather have a 1.44 card than a fancy monitor.  Will save that
kind of high performance graphics for my IIgs.  Same with sound.
Is there some sort of expansion chasis available?  I know they
were made for some of the old one slot and no slot macs.
Thanks
