I would assume the slots are more or less 100% compatible with Apple //e 
slots.  If there's 1 slot that's bigger than the rest, then this is 
probably true, as that slot would most likely be the Auxillary Slot.  If 
all 8 slots are the same size, then they probably emulate Apple ][+ 
slots (the same thing, except you've got that wierdo slot 0)
