I am planning on using an 'extenda-slot' or some-such (a ribbon cable with a slot on one end and a connector to a slot on the other) and placing the card in the case at an angle so that it will fit. Are there hidden pitfalls to avoid with this technique (other than the possibility of the card moving around and shorting whatever it bumps into)? 2: The Unidisk 3.5 driver I have does not work with Smartport devices. I understand that PCPI is no longer supporting the Applicard. Is there anyone else out there who has patched the driver or written a new one that does work with Smartport devices? Such a driver would, theoretically, also work with the /RAM5 disk without modification, since it just looks to everyone else like a normal drive, wouldn't it? If none of this pans out, does anyone have a suggestion as to a 'second best' CP/M card? The Softcard and its compatables are unacceptable (too slow and too memory innefficient).
