No trouble with my Cirtech card, a UDC card and sometimes a Disk ][ card in
slots 4,5 & 6 of my //e. I found that I could not boot Pascal 1.3 from a 5.25
drive connected to the UDC as the boot blocks are different between Disk ][
and smart drives (unlike ProDOS). I bought 1.3 2nd hand and the 3.5 disk was
lost.

Agreed. I have a 2 Meg partition which I have subdivided using the tech note
example of splitting an 800k disk in two that Dave Tribby mentioned.
