Of course, they put it (at least on the ROM01) in a place where you
can't exactly put anything in it; directly in the expansion-card
area.  If your GS slots are full, you can't get anything in there.  I
have a 4-port extender from my Franklin 2200 days (plugs into the 16-pin
socket, extends out of the back of the machine to a little box with
4 16-pin ports on it), and although the plug is "regulation" height, 
this is just a little too high and a little too cramped to fit it
and have a BlueDisk controller and RAMFast controller in slots 6 and 7.

Of course, the solution is to get another GS to go with my joystick
quad-port. :)   Anybody have a bare GS to sell?
