But in the XT,
one slot is different.
Why?
There is a buffer chip that buffers signals to the other slots, but
this one slot is on the CPU-side of the chip, thus is not *idential*
to the other slots.
IBM's serial card is not affected by this difference which is why they
decided it was easier to give away a serial card than deal with the
customer-support issue of random 3rd-party cards not working in that
slot.
