Mereness") Newsgroups: comp.sys.apple Subject: Hard Drives and Slots Message-ID: Date: 7 Jul 89 02:13:10 GMT Sender: daemon@ucbvax.BERKELEY.EDU Organization: The Internet Lines: 25 Thi issue may have been touched upon before, but as the time grows nigh that I will be buying a hard drive, I've gotta ask it again. What slots are prohibited for a device like a hard drive? slot 1 is printer, 2 is modem, 3 is 80 columns, 4 is mouse, 5 is smart port, 6 is 5.25 drives, and 7 is appletalk. What's left? I will be using appletalk, so conceivably both #1 and #7 are out. #6 and #5 are used by my floppies. So what is the deal with #3 and #4? Is the ADB mouse dead if a card is in slot 4? and does Appletalk really lock out two slots? I want to ad a Stereo/MIDI card on top of the hard drive, and if I go for a 20 meg internal (neither AE or Inner Drive use SCSI) I would like to add another SCSI with more space later on. What to do? To add to the confusion, AE hinted at a phantom slot feature in their latest ads! jeremy mereness ============= jm7e+@andrew.cmu.edu (Arpanet) r746jm7e@CMCCVB (vax.... Bitnet)
