Slot

Description

Slot 3 (upper)

PCI/ISA

This slot can accommodate a full-length PCI or ISA

 

 

card (a full-length card is one that runs the full

 

 

length of the computer from front to back).

 

 

If you are installing a drive controller card that you

 

 

want to connect to a drive in the removable-media

 

 

drive bay, it is easiest to install the card in the top

 

 

slot.

Slot 2 (middle)

ISA

This slot can accommodate a full-length ISA card.

Slot 1 (lower)

ISA

In cacheless systems, this is a half-length slot (only

 

 

half-length because the processor gets in the way).

 

 

If a cache module upgrade is fitted (see the chapter

 

 

on “Upgrading”) this reduces the space even further

 

 

so that only very short or very thin cards can be

 

 

accommodated. In Apricot LS340 systems, the lower

 

 

slot may be occupied by a LOC Technology card.
