IBM's braindead decision to have 5 (instead of 8)
expansion slots meant
that aftermarket "multifunction" cards became quite popular. MANY of
them advertised SIX functions; after memory, serial, parallel, and
joystick, how many people remember what purported to be the other two
functions?
#5 was the battery-backed-up real-time clock, and I have this vague
recollection that #6 was something not directly on the card but
software which used the card, something like a RAMdisk driver.
