There are no words at all on the card, other than a little "Apple" if
I recall correctly.  Definitely nothing saying "Super Serial Card" or someting.

Well, from using Copy ][+ v8.4, I tried to dump a catalog to slot 1 and
the computer crashed (lucky the program lets you to a RESET and you're
back in business). Then I tried slot 2 and nothing happened.  I visually
looked where the card was plugged in, and it's in #1.

Can anyopne from Apple shed some light on what's happening?
