They can go into any slot except slot 3 and the memory
expansion slot. The PC Transporter (provides an IBM XT
processor at "Turbo XT" speed for a hardware/software
IBM XT emulator) for example I've used in several different
slots.

No. Some cards, especially IIGS specific cards, do
not require that you switch a slot to "Your Card." This
means that for these cards, you get to use your slot
and keep your built in function. Sound cards and
accelerator cards work this way as do most video
cards. The Second Sight card for example. You
can plug a Second Sight into any slot on a ROM 3
IIGS and you do not have to set the slot to "Your
Card." Same thing with the Visionary GS frame
grabber card.
On the flip side, it is often possible to switch a slot
to "Your Card" and still keep the built in function.
On a ROM 3 IIGS, you can plug a card into slot 4,
set the slot to "Your Card" and keep using your
mouse.
Under both a ROM 01 and a ROM 3, you can plug a
card into slot 2 and set that slot to "Your Card"
without losing the modem port in most terminal
programs (ProTERM 3.1, for example).
Finally, under System 6.0.1, you can have a card in
slot 5, set that slot to "Your Card" and still keep your
built in slot 5 RAM disk.
