It's been a few years since I had this card installed in a computer, 
but I believe the drives were addressed as drive 1 and 2 of slot x and 
drive 1 and 2 of slot y.  This is different from the Rana style 
controllers which addressed the drives as slot x D1, D2, D3, and D4. 
Rana required a modified DOS.

Using the drive controller pictured, I do not know if you could 
actually use the card to free an extra slot in your Apple II. (ie. 
Instead of drives in slot 5 and 6, put the card in slot 6 and free slot 
5 for another card.)

Sorry not to be of more help.
