All,
Can anyone tell me whether the IIc+ smartport firmware is supposed to
recognize more than a total of two active devices on the bus? I'm trying to
help Cedric figure out why it's not enumerating all the volumes on the spvhd.
To levelset the experiment, I connected two daisy-chained Apple 3.5 drives to
the external disk port (no spvhd involved). If I boot from the internal
drive, it sees only the first external drive. I expected the second to show
up at S2,D1, but it does not. If I do not have a diskette in the internal
drive, it boots from the first external 3.5 and sees the second as S5,D2.
No matter what I've tried, it does not seem to map anything into S2 (or any
other than I can find).
Is this expected? The earlier //c has no problem with both a 3-volume spvhd
and my trusty Unidisk 3.5.
Steve
