Wrong, thanks for playing.

The internal IIgs fan "consumes" _no_ slots - it draws power from the fan
connector on the back of the motherboard near the power supply.

The internal fan *does* sit in front of slots 1-3, which is why the IIgs
Peripheral Card Specifications (Apple IIgs Technical Note #28, October 1987)
says and has _always_ said cards designed for slots 1-3 should be no longer
than 7 inches.
