That's all well and good, but what if you decide to use AppleTalk on a ROM 01
machine and have a hard disk.  In some documentation I've seen, possibably
Apple's, they suggest putting the hard drive in slot 1.  I haven't seen any
controller cards that were 7 inches or less.  The only other alternative is
to stick the card in slot 6 thereby doing away with using 5 1/4" drives
unless you get a card for the 5 1/4" drive and stick *it* in slot 1.
