Is the short slot (J8) next to the power supply on an IBM PC/XT
(640K motherboard) good for anything?  I have two short cards in
a system and neither will work in that slot.  Will anything work
in that slot?  I am wasting a long slot on a short card, and I
anticipate needing the long slot for another long card in the near
future?

Thanks for any words of wisdom.
