Subject: Problem with card slots & CP/M

   I am trying to use an SSM serial interface card (note:  NOT the Super-Serial
card!) on an Apple II+ CP/M system with a Diablo 630 printer.  The card works
fine from Applesoft BASIC but if I try to go into CP/M, the system freezes up.
I have tried two CP/M cards, and the same problem occurs with both.  I have
tried both MicroSoft 60k CP/M and the 10MB Sider hard drive's 60k CP/M, and
the problem occurs with both CP/Ms here too.  My slots are configured as
follows:

0  16k expansion card
1  SSM serial interface card (to Diablo 630)
2  Apple-Cat II/212a modem
3  Viewmax-80 80col/lowercase
4  MicroSoft-Compatible CP/M card
5  EMPTY
6  Floppy controller
7  10MB Sider controller

   If I put the serial card in slot #5, I can use CP/M but it will not send
anything to the printer -- I suppose this is because CP/M expects the printer
to be interfaced to slot #1.  Is there any way around this problem, or does
anyone know any possible configuration that will let me use the Sider's CP/M
with a Diablo 630 on the SSM serial card?
