Re: IIc + SmartPort behavior

Happy new year !!!

Well,

Thanks to Antoine V., Fran�ois M., and Ed E., I ended up with three 
Unidisk 3.5 and an Apple IIc+.
I confirm the facts outlined by Steven H. and Rob J.: If more than a 
total of 4 devices (3.5 floppy drives or virtual drives) are connected 
to the IIc+, the last device in the daisy chain is not usable by Prodos 8.
I found also that in this case, the internal floppy drive is mapped two 
times, it look like Prodos 8 is mapping the internal floppy drive 
instead of the last device in the daisy chain when more than 4 devices 
are connected.
I get the same results using physical floppy drive with and without the 
SmartportVHD.
At the moment, I can't go further because I have a problem with the 
keyboard of the IIc+.

Cedric.
