Re: Apple IIGS and 3.5 drive

["Mirko" <mirko@yack.com>]

Sean,

tanks for the hint, I made 3.5 drive the first in the chain, and checked the 
control panel, all I can see is that slot 5 is set as 'smart port' but slot 
6 can only be set to 'disk port' there's not smart option on it...

The drive still doesn't boot..
