What ProDOS version ya using? With 2.0.3, my //e can use the Chinook and two 
unidisks connected to the unidisk card. The hard disk and first unidisk are
in slot 7 and the second unidisk is in slot 4. On a //c, I'd expect the first
two devices to be in slot 5 and the other two in slot 2. ProDOS 1.2 and up can
do the reassignment for intelligent devices in slot 5, and 2.0 and up can do
any slot, which makes it work for my card in slot 7.
