Can the supertracker be used in conjunction with a parallel addon in an 1541-ii?

Does it just double up in the socket then?

TOP -> VIA
MID -> STRACKER
BOT -> PARAMOD
PCB -> SOCKET

No, the parallel cable and SuperTracker II use different VIAs.

Got it.  Can you confirm which IC?  The manual does not say for the 1541-II, only the 1541 variations.  

There is U6 and U8, my understanding is that the parallel mode is U6, thus U8 for the STii?

The 1541-II is a very tight fit. The upper left corner of the face plate (when looking at the drive) is the only place that the OLED screen will fit. I don't know if I actually added the track display to a 1541-II. I have added the track display to many 1571's.

No worries, I am actually building a custom drive with the 1541-II pcb as the brain.  Smile
