Not necessarily. I had to upgrade my rev K Z80 card from AE to a rev N card
since the earlier one didn't work. Also the PCPI Applicard is too long to
physically fit in a IIgs. Your mileage may vary with other cards, but you
definitely have to set the card's slot to your card and the speed to normal.
