        The card can go in ANY unoccupied slot. You should also have 
access to an 80 column card before doing anything.

        If you are running it in a GS you should slow the machine to 
normal speed otherwise the card will not work.

        The master disks are generally run from 5.25 disks. I understand 
it is possible to run the programs from 3.5 provided you have the latest 
version and make an alteration to a device table. I tried this with an 
older version a number of years ago without success. I have since moved 
on.

        If you are looking for documentation, Microsoft (they used to 
make some cards) is good as a users guide. I don't know if they would 
part with a manual unless the card was made by them. I'm sure there is 
documentation available on some ftp site. I wish I could help out, but 
the documentation I have is packed away somewhere.

                                Later
