I'm surprised that the h/w is very similar to mine.

I leave this out because it doesn't seem very useful.
AppleTalk to 6100/66 (DOS Compatible - I don't need the PCT anymore) Power
Mac

My ZipGS (10/64) is in slot 3, with a 28.8 faxmodem outside

>   * Slot 3:  Apple II Video Overlay Card

I leave the VOC (PAL) out in favour of a second sight card (17" VGA
monitor).

The vision plus never impressed me much, neither did the computer eyes IIGS
so I leave them both out unless I'm up to some digitising.

I have one FDHD and one FDD since some 800K disks don't like the superdrive
(especially system 4 & 5.02).

Drives on

I only had one 5.25" MFM drive on the PCT, but I did have an extra 3.5" FDD
connected. Again generally left out from lack of use (and swapping things
around is a hassle). I usually leave the Apple 5.25" off the smart port/disk
port chain since I just don't use them disks.

ditto

My SCSI chain has a 500Mb HDD, a SyQuest 270MB removable, an Apple CD150i
(taken from the Power Mac in place of a 300e which didn't work on the
RamFAST :( , & 21Mb Floptical drive, with some other devices on occasion.
