Summary: Did you disable the //gs internal slot

It's too bad that the SSC card doesn't work.  I was kind of hoping
it would, as much of my software depends on the 6551 rather than
the Zilog serial I/O chip on the gs motherboard.  I'm surpised that
the SSC doesn't work, since its an Apple brand goodie, and they
know that people are going to need downward compatibility with
older comminucations programs for a while until new software comes
out!

My questions are:  1.  Did you make sure that you disabled the
internal "virtual" slot in the preferences setup before installing
the SSC?  2.  Perhaps the SSC bombs becuase of the way the gs
handles interrupts-- not interrupts again!
