Thanks for the tip. I tried it and the switch worked, yet my drives
in slot 6 still weren't recognized for copying. It appears I have to
have some form of DOS loaded from slot 6 before soft booting to the
other slot in order for copyIIplus to recognize both sets of drives.
I tried this with slots 6 and 5 as well as 6 and 7 and it worked.
Thanks again,
Curt
