Re: Chaining floppy drives to a IIgs

[eeastman@apple2.com]

From:http://www.applelinc.org/faqs/IIgsInfo.htm
Smartport: Allows up to seven storage devices to the IIgs. Normally used
for 3.5, 5.25 inch floppy drives, there is at least one known smartport
hard drive. (Power limit at 5 devices)

Yes, 3.5"Diskettes must be hooked in first, 5.25" disks last, other
devices unknown.  Try it and see, nothing bad should happen unless you
exceed the limit for power consumption.  Even then, you computer would
be fine, it just wouldn't start up.

Thankx,
