Apple IIe Card - Manual (Page 80)

File servers
If you want to use a file server, you need the AppleShare card. The
AppleShare card is usually installed in slot 7. (See your Apple IIe
program manuals to determine whether your programs have different
requirements.)
To install the AppleShare card, you’ll have to remove one of the others.
Since the AppleShare card typically goes in slot 7, the most tempting
card to remove is the Memory Card, which is already there. If you want
to move it, here are some suggestions where you might move the
Memory Card:
■
Slot 2, replacing the Clock Card. If none of your programs uses it, you
can remove the Clock Card. However, if you have a modem, you’ll
probably need slot 2 for the modem port Serial Card.
■
Slot 4, replacing the Mouse Card. If none of your programs uses a
mouse, you can remove the Mouse Card.

Modems and other serial devices except for printers
Serial devices are devices, such as a modem, that plug into the printer
port or the modem port on the back of the Macintosh.
❖ Why not printers? The most common serial device plugged into the
back of the Macintosh is a printer. However, printers require the
special Printer Card, which is already installed into slot 1—so you
don’t need to do anything special to arrange to print. The only
exception to this rule is old non-Apple serial printers that are
commonly used with Apple IIe computers. These printers still require
the Serial Cards.
