Thus the daisy chain connection?

To answer another poster, by white drive I mean the one in an all plastic 
white case as compared to the Disk II beige steel and black drive door.

I have tried multiple Apple II units and the whites won't boot on the older 
ones. I'll have to set them up side by side and try again. It was a while 
ago. Weather is predicted for about 15 degrees up to freezing the next couple 
of days and my shop is not heated so I might wait till next week.
