even a beep. What can have gone wrong ?

Thanks for the help,

Couple of things seem odd in your post.

1) the Apple IIe extended AUX slot has more pins than the standard slot (i'm pretty sure), therefore it should not have been physically possible to plug the extended 80 col card into any of the standard slots

2) The Apple IIe does not have a Slot 0, this was only on the Apple II/II+.

Aren't there also some 80-col cards also for the II and II+? They would go in a normal slot then... I think.
