It was (see below)

No, Slot 6 only comes up as Disk Port or Your Card.

I've tried both, with no luck.

I only have the IIGS, but it works with another drive.

Again, I only have the IIGS.

Well, I got one of those 5.25" controller cards william was talking about,
put it in slot 6, set 6 as Your Card, & to boot from 6. The DuoDisk works
with the new card, but now I have another problem. I may not have noticed it
before, but when I insert a disk into drive 1, the disk gets about half way
in & then hits something inside the drive preventing it from inserting
farther. Every 20 tries or so the disk will insert compleatly & then works
just fine until I eject it. What could be getting in the way?
