Hartford, CT Lines: 35 * Regarding the proper slot for Z-80 cards: Microsoft in their original softcard manual suggests Slot 0: language card Slot 1: parallel printer card Slot 2: serial printer or communications Slot 3: video card Slot 4: Softcard Slot 5: 2nd drive controller Slot 6: drive controller Slot 7: whatever you want These are *suggested* and can be changed. PCPI also makes the same suggestions for their Applicard (a wonderful card by the way). I installed a Corvus network once that had the Microsoft Softcards in slot 2 on all the Apples, and unless Corvus changed the CP/M booter somewhere during the install, it seems that the CP/M booter searches for the card and it doesn't have to be in slot 4. In fact, Corvus required the floppy controller to be in slot 4. I think the Applicard can be in almost any slot (not 0 of course).
