Well unless you're planning to use Appletalk to access a printer, I'd say
you're SOL even with enough slots. Otherwise you'll be constantly swapping
Appletalk and printer port in and out. If you had a ROM 3, this would be 
pretty easy since slots 1 and 2 can be used for Appletalk in addition to slot
7. On a 01 about the best thing to do is put the SCSI in slot 1.
I leave the SCSI in slot 6 on my 01's since I never use 5.25 drives and a
hard disk at the same time. This isn't workable without using the built in port
for 5.25's though. My main machine is a ROM 3 with Appletalk in
slot 1 and SCSI in slot 7 and slot 6 switched out and empty since I don't
keep 5.25's connected.
