I figure that the reason to have "short" slots is to let you
put something in the space not taken up by the extended bus
connector. sound reasonable? So does this mean that you can
add, say, a full-height drive in the plus without removing
the floppy drive (or the default half-height)?
If you can't, what is the purpose of making the slots "short"?
Enquiring minds want to know!

No. There are no "short slots" in the AT&T PC 6300PLUS. All of the expansion slots in the machine will accept full-length cards. There is no way to install a full-height disk in the PC 6300PLUS and still have room for any other disk device. I use an external enclosure with space for two full-height disks, and I put two half-height floppy drives in the system unit. -- Dave Levenson Westmark, Inc.
