Seen by the GS, hardware wise.  Set the Slot 7 to YOUR CARD and the
boot slot to 7.  Put in SCSI card and drive.  Turned on the GS.  Bouncing
Apple.  Put SCSI card and drive in ANY slot and reset control panel.
Bouncing Apple.  Put in serial card in ANY slot (control panel to YOUR
CARD).  Boot GS from floppy.  Tried to access serial card with modem
or printer connected.  No joy.  Serial ports do work, but the use of the
serial card was to test the slots.  All slots seem to be dead.  What is
wrong?  Also tried slinky RAM card in slots with control panel to YOUR
CARD.  Normal GS can use the card as a RAM disk.  This one can't see
the card in the slot (no RAM disk, can't format RAM disk, seems to be
no card in slot).
