They are both Zorro cards, so go in the "100-pin Amiga slots" -- If the Spectrum card has a Scandoubler built-in, you might find it needs to go in one of the top two slots that are inline with the video slots.Quote:

number slot ?
thanks
It doesn't matter. Whichever one you'd prefer. As I say, the only thing that matters is whether you need a video slot as well.Quote:

Only one of the Zorro slots has a Video slot next to it (mine is the bottom one) this is where I had to install my PicassoIV as it has a Video Slot Scan Doubler attached. I don't think your Spectrum does so any slot should be fine.Quote:

The Spectrum board doesnīt have a Scandoubler, so you can connect it to any Zorro slot, you donīt need a Video Slot to use it.

@ landoq
The A4000T has 2 x Video Slots & they are at the top of the Stack when the A4KT is stood in it's normal upright position.
The whole busboard area of the A4KT can take these cards, but in the front most part of the slot. That means near the front of the case. See green box on attached picture (5 x slots). The Red box are the two Video slots, though a lot of Video cards use the ZORRO area as well, such as the Picasso IV, Toaster etc.
The blue Box area of 4 x slots is the ISA side of things.
Always best not to use the upper two ZORRO areas, in case you need to fit a full video card such as the Toaster or PIV.
I'd put the Spectrum in ZORRO Slot 3 & the X-Surf in 4. All the same, still check the Manuals for the hardware you are fitting. I reckon you'll be okay though. :thumbsup:
