Re: 5.25" Disk drive problem (PLEASE HELP!)

 I'm sure I won't be the first or only person to say this but anyways..

  When you hook your disk drives to the GS, the 3.5" drives must be first.
 In the Apple IIGS owner's reference it says:

 "When connecting one or more UniDisk drives in a daisy chain with other
types of drives, the UniDisk drive(s) must come AFTER any Apple 3.5 drives
in the chain and BEFORE any Apple 5.25 drives in the chain."

 "You can connect as many as four UniDisk drives to the disk port- but the
total of ALL drives connected to the port should not exceed four. (In other
words, if you connect four UniDisk drives, you can't connect any other
drives.)"

 The manual also mentions that "The easiest way to differentiate UniDisk
drives from Apple 3.5 Drives is by color: UniDisk drives are white, and
Apple 3.5 Drives are platinum (the same color as the computer). Each type
of drive is also identified on its underside."

  Good Luck!
