Nope; it doesn't use a slot.  It taps into the Ensoniq-specific molded
tan (4-pin?) connector and is powered by the 2-pin molded tan internal-fan
connector.  It is typically mounted on the back outlet plate.  One nice
thing is that the card does not block the two connectors from further use,
but rather provides extension outlets for them.

No; I have both connected at the same time.  You can even have the
SuperSonic digitizer hooked up at the same time.
