I tried it in both slot 7 and 4, both set to "Your Card". I'll try the
Alternate display mode. I do have a 5.25" controller card, so I could
also try it in slot 6, just out of curiosity. If I don't get it
working in the IIgs, I can still use it in the IIe. It would just be
more convenient to have it in the IIgs.
