I was of the impression that the Apple Memory Expansion Card COULD be
plugged
into slot 3 of an Apple //e with an Extended 80-Column Card.  What's the
story
on this?
__________________________________________________________________________
The Apple Memory card, like the RamFactor from AE, is like any other card
you might hace like a super serial or disk II or somewthing in that it cant
be plugged into slot 3. This is because slot 3 is special, and mapped into
Aux. Slot where your 80 column card is. It has to do with how older Apple
// +'s had funky 80 col cards there and the //e is supposed to be
compatible with it.

So, to sum up, almost no card you can buy can be plugged into slot 3, and
Apple's RAM card falls into this category. Ones that do work there are
Transwarp, the slot 3 clock, and that's about it.
