Yes the Compaticard is a 5 inch long card so it will fit all PC's, ATs
etc. that have normal expansion slots.  It will definitely fit in a
1000SX.  It has its own memory resident software driver that makes
the drives look like letters above your highest existing drive.

By "regular PC type slot" I meant the 62 pin connectors on the mother 
board.

I dont think it will fit the half height 1000EX and HX because I
assume they don't have standard expansion slots or if they do are
they mounted horizontally ??.
