The electronics is only a single slot, however the hard drive itself
tends to be thicker than the widget allowed for a single slot. If you
have a short card you can fit it adjacent to a hardcard, but if you
have a full-length card it will interfere with the hard drive mounted
on the hardard. However, since its rare for a PC to have all its ISA
slots occupied with full-length boards, its usually not a problem.

Hmm, ISTR my Plus Hardcard 20 fit in a single slot... it's buried under
too much crap for me to dig it out and check ATM :-/ I should probably just live with dual floppies
but I like HDs in anything
that can use them.
In original PC and XT machines, I like the "hard card" drive mounted
directly on the controller card. It takes up two slots, but can be
easier than having to fuss with a drive bay.
