Re: Problem installing SwyftCard in Apple IIe

["RedskullDC" <RDC@oz.org>]

Hi Dietmar,

Few options:

1) If you're handy with a soldering iron you could swap the /DEVSEL
and /IOSEL lines on your slot3 with another slot (4 if you don't use a Z80 
card,
or 5 if you only have a drive controller in slot6).

2) Put an extender card under the swift card to lift it out of the way.
Not sure if this would help without knowing the legth of your 80col card.

3) Show us all a ROM dump, Should be easy to patch for use in another
slot.

Cheers,
Red
