: Okay, here's what I have for my GS, anyone can recommend where to put
: it all. There's the ZipGS, a 4 meg memory card, A CFFA 256 meg hard
: card and a high speed SCSI card that I'll need for the CD ROM. The GS
: is a ROM 01.

That is going to be a nice setup.  :o)

: Bill recommended putting the SCSI card in slot 7 and the CFFA in slot 4,
: but that might interfere with the mouse.

This recommendation was for a ROM 03 only.

: I'm hesitant to put anything in slot 6, because I'll need the floppy
: drives as well.

I suggested the SCSI card in slot 6, as you can copy CD files to hard
drive partitions and then switch back to floppy to convert to disks.

: I probably won't need to use a modem on it, because all the software
: I want access to is on CD and floppy.

In this case, put the SCSI card in slot 2. Switch back to modem port
in the event you want to link to a PC or Mac.

: The reason I'm trying to get this setup going is so I can offer the
: freeware and shareware that I have to others on floppies.

A very commendable use of a great machine.

: The CDs are the Time in a Bottle collection. I was told it was all
: freeware and shareware, and I don't plan on charging much more than
: it costs to put them to disk.

A lot of it is, but as a complete set, it may not be.

: Hope this doesn't cause any grief with Syndicomm.

Well, they do have rights to sell the compilation, AFAIK.
