Apple IIGS
6 of 7 #69: The Ins and Outs of Slot Arbitration
become accustomed, everyone has a better chance of working by sticking to the general Apple
IIGS rule of “put back what you use when you’re done with it.” Ask for the slot, use it, then
restore the previous Bit Encoded Slot Configuration. (If you use multiple slots, you might wish
to get the Bit Encoded Slot Configuration, save a copy, modify it to reflect the slots you want,
and restore from the modified version.)
Note: Peripherals accessed through GS/OS do not have to call the Slot Arbiter; GS/OS
handles this task automatically.
