Let's see...

   I/O Card (Ser/Par)       1
   video                    1
   hard/floppy controller   1
   scanner                  1
   modem                    1
   memory                   1
                          ____
                            6 slots total


Am I missing anything?  Do you only have six slots?  Or did you make
the mistake of having a separate controller for your hard and floppy
disks, or separate cards for your ser. and par. ports? (or an additional
game port?)  Why do you have an internal modem?--what are you doing
with your ser. port(s)?

Could this be poor planning on your part?
