Exactly. And the 'SmartPort' which made slots 6 and 7 the (up to 2) 5.25
drives attached to the card itself, and then any other drives you had
available to the mac (ProDos disk in internal drive, SCSI ProDos hard
drive, etc), the Mouse 'card' to your ADB mouse, the printer and serial
ports pretending they were SSII cards, etc. You had to switch out one of
the serial 'cards' for the AppleTalk 'card' of course...
Does anyone out there who has never had a chance to see the IIe LC card in
action want to see some screenshots? Would it be good for a FAQ or
something? It seems like there is much confusion and stuff.
