A couple of articles in this group recently said that IBM PC cards
which hang "below" the edge connector don't fit in an AT&T 6300, because
the AT&T's second edge connector gets in the way.  Well, that's only partly
true:

As shipped from the factory, the AT&T machines have 7 expansion slots.
The second, 38-pin edge connector is installed for only 4 slots.  (The
other three slots have a place on the circuit board for the second
connector, but there's no connector soldered in.)  So, you can plug in
up to 3 IBM cards that extend below the edge connector, plus 4 that don't.
Or, of course, up to 4 16-bit cards.

At least, that's the way the European version of the AT&T machine is
sold (the Olivetti M24), and that's the way the early AT&T machines were
shipped.  Anyone out there seen one different?
