Cantrell --- end of quote --- There were only three cards made for that slot. Audio, A/V and DVD A/V.
The cards have been referred to as wings, perch or personality cards. The slot is, as far as I know, a modified pci that is dedicated to these cards and nothing else. It's kind of a nice design feature that never went as far as it could have. One of the internal sockets on all three cards is for the internal modem card which blocks off the external modem port. The A/V card, with the video input on the back, had a ribbon connector for connecting to a DVD drive of some sort...I'm not clear how it was meant to be used. This connector is missing from the later DVD A/V card which had onboard DVD hardware decoding ability but could be used only with the rev 3 motherboard as long as no additional video pci card was installed.
