   > One of my IIes has a problem. Slot 7 isn't working properly. I first became   
   aware of a problem because it would not autoboot from slot 7. I could reset   
   and pr#7 to boot but could not powerup boot. (CFFA in slot 7). Later the CFFA   
   began to have problems    
   with bad blocks and volume full msgs. The cffa CF card works fine in a   
   CFFA3000 card in my IIGS. The CFFA card works fine in slot 4. So, I am pretty   
   sure the cffa and CF card is OK. My old microdrive works in slot 4, but not   
   slot 7. What should I look    
   for to troubleshoot slot7? Slots 1-6 seem to be OK. I really don't need slot7   
   but it is irritating that it is faulty.    
   > TIA, Steven   
      
   Most likely a connection not being made in the slot connector.  Look for a pin   
   that looks rather straight and not bent towards center, has no spring to it or   
   may be corroded.
