I agree, but I'll just add that you're usually asked this by the
program, so it's not very important.

Same deal.

I agree, but I'll add that it moved to slot 7 in the IIc+--I moved
mine there, too, in my //e. Every program seemed to find it there OK.

That's what I'd do, even though my Disk ][ manual seems to think that
slot 2 is a groovy place for extra 5.25" drives.

My Phasor manual says that it should be in slot 4 for Mockingboard
compatibility, but all my Mockingboard programs found it when I moved
it to slot 2 (except for the 1 or 2 that asked me about its location).

The default in Apple's //e emulation card for the Mac LC is slot 2.

was a softswitch..
