My 5.25 light does too.  When in GS/OS, the drive light always flickers on
the
Unidisk 3.5.  Another thing, is when I try to copy from a 3.5 to the Ram5
drive
it always checks the 5.25 drive first.

Copy II 7.4 sees my drive as slot 5, disk 1 and the Ram5 as Slot 5, drive 2.

Same here.  I understand that the Appledisk 3.5 is faster since the IIgs
controller directly controls the drive instead of the built in controller on
the drive.
