SmartPort adapter for Disk II - how to use?

[jeffr@bnr.ca (Jeffrey Robertson)]

Hi:

Kind of a funny request here.  A while ago I got
some kind of adapter that allows my Disk II
to connect to a SmartPort, either the one on
the back of my IIgs or daisychained off of my
3.5".

Thing is, I'm not sure how it is supposed to
work!  In ProDOS 8, I can't seem to access the
5.25" drive.  If I daisychain it, then s5d1 is
the 3.5" and s5d2 is /ram5.  If I put it straight
off the GS, then I get some error when I try
to access s5d1.

I must have known this once upon a time, but I haven't
had my 5.25" connected for a couple of years now,
and I can't remember how to make it work.

Can I ever boot my Disk II without the Disk II controller?
(ie, boot a DOS 3.3 disk)  Can I access ProDOS or
DOS 3.3 disks through GS/OS using this adapter?  (How?)

Ideally, I'd be able to copy files from old DOS 3.3
5.25" disks onto ProDOS or HFS harddrives.

Thanks,
--
