That will probably be the way to do it.

The machine is getting full!

Aux Slot - RamWorks III/Color Link
1 - Ethernet
2 - Apple 1mb Slinky Memory
3 - Transwarp
4 - Apple Mouse
5 - Apple 5 1/4"
6 - UDC Short
7 - MicroDrive IIe

I have a 4MHz Zip chip that I might put in instead of the transwarp
freeing up a slot for a clock. Or perhaps looking at getting a no-slot
clock. It'll be possible to eliminate the UDC when I track down a 3.5"
SuperDriver controller but I would still need a 5 1/4" controller.

Good stuff!

Best!
