A quick question,
I have an 128K enhanced //e with an Apple 64k extended 80-col card in
the aux slot, what cards ( type of card) can I put in slot 3, a ram
card, acelerator card, clock card, Z80 card, coms card? etc.
Any help comments will be appreciated, replies to this info-apple list,
I read it every day, or by e-mail.

A Z-80 card definately won't work, methinks accessing a RAM disk in slot 3 would confuse many programs that (sometimes) can use the AUX memory already in slot 3 as RAM space. I wonder if a Super Serial Card (which DOES have a ROM that can be accessed from Applesoft with the card in a another slot) would work if you ONLY used a comm program that bypasses the ROM?

There's a ProDOS 8 Technote defining a convention that allows programs to tell the difference between a slot3 RAMdisk that uses Aux Memory and one that doesn't. I don't know how well this works in practice--there may be 3rd-party RAMdisk drivers that don't follow the convention. Anyway, this question is separate from the one of using non-disk cards in slot 3. There's no interference between a "slot 3" RAMdisk and the physical slot 3. > I wonder if a Super Serial Card (which DOES have a ROM that >can be accessed from Applesoft with the card in a another slot) would work >[in slot 3] if you ONLY used a comm program that bypasses the ROM? Yup, it will work if your comm program lets you configure it to use a serial card in slot 3. >Murph Sewall Vaporware? ---> [Gary Larson returns 1/1/90] >Prof. of Marketing Sewall@UConnVM.BITNET >Business School sewall%uconnvm.bitnet@mitvma.mit.edu [INTERNET] >U of Connecticut {psuvax1 or mcvax }!UCONNVM.BITNET!SEWALL [UUCP] > (203) 486-5246 [FAX] (203) 486-2489 [PHONE] 41 49N 72 15W [ICBM] --Dave Lyons, Apple Computer, Inc. | DAL Systems AppleLink--Apple Edition: DAVE.LYONS | P.O.

It depends on how the card was designed and how it works.....
most cards will tell you wether or not you can use it in slot 3. A large
quantaty of the AE cards will work in slot 3.
