DICKSON@HARTFORD.BITNET once grumbled about taking the //E to GS upgrade.
I think he said that his AE Ramcard (assuming it is gsRAM for the Apple //GS)
wouldn't fit in the //e case.  Then Michael WIlliams@Boulder.Colorado.EDU
suggested that a slot-extender might be used.

I know that with some high-speed devices like co-processors and disk controller
cardss can not be extended because it throws off the timing required to make
them work.  Those extra inches of wire add too much of a time lag.  I can not
remember if memory cards were one of those, but I suspect it is.  Especially for

a GS ram expansion card.

If I got any names screwed up, I'm sorry.
