   It should, assuming the software's written correctly. Otherwise,
do some slot shuffling.

   Most/all programs that'd already recognize them, yes. However, you
have to be looking for one to start with to recognize the memory.
Applesoft Basic will still use only 35K of memory, even if you deck
out your system with a bunch of ramcards. There was no hard and fast
location for these slinky cards, so most programs that support them
should do a proper scan and find them.

   I did write up a short (~5K) guide last night to all of the slots
and drop it into the c.s.a2 FAQ at
http://www.visi.com/~nathan/a2/faq/csa2.html section 4.1
