Slight error in details about the ISA card arrangement[edit]

"However, the first 16-bit slot was already occupied by a CGA graphics card and one of the 8-bit slots was used by the ATA drive controller board, leaving two available to add cards to." -- They got this wrong. The six Compaq Portable II's I have all have 8-bit CGA cards and 16-bit multi IO controllers. As starndard, the Multi-IO controller (with IDE, Floppy, Parallel, Serial) is in Slot 1 (closest to the front of the case), and the second slot is reserved by the 8-bit CGA card. First slot is a 16-bit slot, 2nd slot is a 8-bit slot, 3rd slot is a 16-bit slot, and 4th slot again an 8-bit slot. 16-bit IO card: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Compaq_Portable_II_Multi-IO_ISA_card.jpg , Reference picture of the motherboard: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Inside_the_Compaq_Portable_II,_view_of_the_motherboard_and_ISA_slots.jpg. I've not seen other computers with a different arrangement on the motherboard, so I've corrected the article. --Molivil (talk) 16:50, 23 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
