'slt1' and 'nubs' calls) always returns 0 on the IIsi (i.e. no NuBus slots),
whether or NOT there is a NuBus adapter card in it (so if you have a routine
that asks how many NuBus slots there are in your current machine, and then
trys to talk to those cards it won't work on the IIsi).  I was told this was
a "feature" and not a "bug" because thats the way the gestalt programmer 
intended it to work.
  Oh well, I've had to go back to "if I'm on a IIci, then I have 3 slots...".

Thought y'all might be interested.
