Well how many people can fix LSI chips... none.

Well I wouldn't waste the Liron in the GS, especially to just run 5.25's,
but try out the 5.25 controller from your Platinum to see if it works. If
you have a hard drive in the GS you rarely, if ever, need two 3.5's. And
even if you don't you can set up your RAM disk to act like a 3.5 for disk
copying purposes. ie set it to 800K.
