7 ) Set Switches According to Slot

The Controller Card will work from any slot. However,
there are a few conditions of which you need to be aware.

Do n o t install the card into the Memory Expansion slot.

We recommend installing the controller card into slot 6 or
7.

Check the switches on the card. The switch block is the red
rectangular box toward the bottom right of the card. The
switches should be set as shown below. (You’ll probably
need to remove the tape covering the switches first.)

•.

Note: For a complete description of the functions of the
switches, refer to App. D.

Use a small, pointed object, like a wooden toothpick or
bent-out paperclip to change a switch setting.

The circle on each switch represents the end that should be
pressed for a standard IIGS setup.

Slot 7 Exception (Pseudo-Slotting)

If your slot 7 does not have a card in it, but is blocked, you
can install the card into another slot and make it appear to
be in slot 7. This is most valuable if you have slot 3, 4, or 5
unoccupied. You can leave the slot containing the card is
set to that slot’s function. This leaves slot 3 free for its 80
column function, slot 4 free for mouse control, or slot 5 free
for Smart Port (disk drive control). This process is called
pseudo-slotting.

If you want to pseudo-slot the card, you’ll need to make a
simple adjustment to the card first.
