Re: How many drives can a GS take?

What David said, plus, here's a quote from the IIGS Firmware Ref:
 
"You can attach up to two Disk II drives, two Apple 3.5 drives, and
two or more UniDisk 3.5 drives to the Apple IIGS disk port, depending
on IWM output specifications. A maximum of six devices can be connected
at any one time."
 
I think the six limit is based on power supply and signal strength.
 
There is a picture of the order the devices must be connected
(Apple 3.5, UniDisk 3.5, 5.25) and there are two pages
of example slot/drive mappings.
 
I wasn't aware of the two Apple 3.5 drive limit.
