You don't need a card for 5.25 drives in slot 6. Plug in the Unidisk
and then the 5.25 drives. Set slot 5 and 6 to SmartPort and Disk Port
respectively. The CFFA can boot from any slot, just set the boot slot
to the slot it's in. I have my superdrive card in slot 7, 5.25 drives in 6,
with Diskport on, MicroDrive CF adapted card in 5, set to YOUR CARD,
and CFFA in slot 2, set to YOUR CARD also.

: I wonder if I would have difficulty if I put the clock card in slot 4.

If rom03, your clock card
should run fine in slot 4, set to your card, and still have mouse capability.
For rom01, you'll need to use another slot.

: I was wondering if anybody has some advice?

That's all I've got for now. Maybe someone else can offer
better advice that this. Mine is a developement system, so,
I don't really know what would work best for you.  :o)
