No, it requires only a single slot and the space thereof.  But, it is a tight 
fit in the sense that the clearance between the receiver compartment and the 
adjacent card in the next lower slot is a bit slim.....maybe a couple of 
millimeters or so.  This is not a problem since the top of the WinRadio 
compartment seems to be insulated well.
All in all, it would be ideal to slip WinRadio into either Slot 1 or into a 
slot where the next lower one is empty, but that is more of a convenience 
than a caveat.  The card is rigid, once screwed down, so there is not a 
physical problem at all.

Perhaps, but I'm not even sure where the case for THAT machine is.  It's my 
workbench computer and I am always into and out of it.  The sucker hasn't 
seen a case in years..........

All's well so far, and I will have a good report in the next few days.
